Winter Grants Awarded

Posted on by

Do you ever wonder how the PTA money that is raised is actually put into action? Funding Teacher Grants is just one of the many important line items in our budget. Each grant cycle (Fall, Winter, Spring) we award up to $2,000 in grant money. Teachers and staff submit grant applications with a maximum request of $500, and the PTA Executive Board reviews the applications with a goal of funding as many projects as possible within the allotted budget. This cycle, we were able to award grants for all of the applications received!

Fundraising Update: 18/19 Budget Funded!

Posted on by

Each year, SLE PTA focuses our Fundraising efforts to fund the approved budget for the school year by November 1st. We are pleased to announce that our results with the 2nd Annual Boosterthon Fun Run and the Fall Ball: Dia de Fiesta, have achieved that important milestone!

Throughout the year you will see Spirit Night events that will help us support our community and raise additional funds that will allow us to support our students and teachers outside of what is planned in our line item budget.

We sincerely appreciate your support in making Silver Lake THE Place to Be!

Fall Ball follow up: What an awesome evening!

Posted on by

On October 27th, many students and families enjoyed a fun evening of playing carnival games, dancing and learning about the Day of the Dead by tasting special goodies made specifically for this holiday by some of our awesome parents, all while having fun wearing their costumes.

Our silent auction included experiences donated by teachers and staff at SLE, the community, and several generous parents. It was a GREAT success and raised $4679.85. All of this money will be used to help support our SLE Students, Teachers and Staff this school year! Thank you for your generosity and showing your love for our Shooting Stars!

 

Can’t wait to see you at Fall Ball Friday, October 27th 6-8 pm!
