FUNDRAISING
Fundraising events at Kaiser are essential if we are to continue
offering our children the best possible education. The money
we raise is put to many uses:
The following are our principal fundraisers.
Please contact any member of the PTA board to express your
interest in helping make these events an even greater success.
Kaiser Elementary School Auction is an
adult party with Silent and Live Auctions held each year. It
is one of our main fundraisers and a winner at all levels -
it raises money for our childrens education, it provides
tax deductions for both donors and bidders, and its a
marvelous way to spend an evening with other parents of Kaiser
students. Volunteers are needed to follow up on solicitation
letters, sell bar and raffle tickets, categorize donated auction
items, set up and display Silent Auction tables and help with
promotion and decorations.

THE
E-SCRIPT PROGRAM provides an opportunity to generate
revenue for our school without requiring additional out-of-pocket
expenses or time in parents busy schedules. The school
receives a percentage of the eSCRIP amount purchased, from
participating merchants. After filling out the brief application
form, your participation requires only the time needed to
shop at participating establishments. Learn more here.
Other passive fundraising includes collecting
box-tops and used ink-jet cartridges for recycling. Information
about these programs and collection boxes are located in the
school office.

THE WALK-A-THON is a day-long event scheduled in the
spring for Kaiser students and families. This
year it's May 2, 2009. This activity affords the
children an opportunity to raise money for their school. They
obtain sponsors who agree to donate according to how far the
children walk. Walk-A-Thon Day is full of challenges and excitement
for the walkers, who may earn T-shirts and a variety of awards. The
children love this event, and it's another of our major fundraisers. Parent
volunteers are needed to register participants, staff the check
points, hand out juice bars, make badges, and to set up and
take down stations.
