Stay-At-Home Fundraiser

The Stay-At-Home Fundraiser is the PTO's primary fundraiser. Rather than asking for money time and again throughout the school year, the PTO holds just one fundraiser every fall. The proceeds go directly to our teachers and students in the form of mini-grants, which support projects such as:

• Purchasing science lab materials for all science classes at AHS and SILSA
• Securing transportation for students in occupational job programs
• Providing scholarships for field trips
• Underwriting participation costs to ensure a diverse range of students participating in student government retreats
• Funding the purchase of reusable classroom supplies such as calculators, smart pens, kiln supplies, art projectors, cameras, classroom libraries, and so much more

Please consider how important these funds are to teachers and students and give what you can. With your generosity, in 2018-19 we distributed almost $10,000 in grants, teacher supplies, and guidance! See our enthusiastic teacher feedback here!

Please look for the AHS/SILSA fundraising postcard in your mailbox. (Please make check payable to AHS/SILSA PTO.)
