Fundraising
Our school participates in several fundraising events: SLP Read$, Silent Auction and Dine Out Night Fundraisers. Last year Susan Lindgren families raised $40,000 through these fundraisers. The money we raised was used to fund student enrichment activities including field trips, the school garden, Fall Festival, Festival of Nations, Math Night, the Book Fair, Student Showcase Fair, June Jamboree, yearbooks, an online directory, and so much more!

SLP READ$ FUNDRAISER
Held in the fall, SLP Read$ is our largest annual fundraiser. Last year it raising just over $27,000, allowing the PTO to pay 100% of field trip costs, plus ensuring all PTO events are free for all families! Students collect donations from family and friends, inspired by a focus on reading.
SILENT AUCTION
Started in 2023, the online Silent Auction is the PTO’s spring fundraiser, raising over $10,000 in the first year! These funds are used to provide FREE yearbooks to every student, as well as fund annual Specialist stipends (new) and additional requests at school as needed such as warm winter gear and extra clothing in the nurses office, etc.
