Something mysterious has happened at Alderwood Elementary...

The Golden Owl—the symbol of our school community—has gone missing!

This fall, our students become Owltopia Junior Officers, completing missions, earning badges, and working together to solve the mystery while raising funds to support their school.

 

Every donation helps provide programs, supplies, and experiences that make Alderwood Elementary an amazing place to learn.  We understand that the suggested donation of $250 per elementary-aged child may be a stretch.  While $250 per child is approximately what the PTA anticipates spending on a fully-funded budget, participation is what is most important to this fundraising campaign. Any contribution you’re comfortable making will have a direct impact on the PTA’s programming and funding in support of the many educational enrichment programs provided for our elementary aged children.

 

Every Contribution Brings Us Closer to $150,000!
