Nothing in life is free, we hear it all the time. Let’s think for a minute about your child’s education. When I talk to friends and family who don’t know about Bay Harbor Elementary, I tell them that I feel my children are getting a better education than at a private level without the private education cost. We are very fortunate to be a part of such a wonderful school that doesn’t require a large tuition expense or a ton of fundraising. The Bay Harbor PTO asks its families to make an annual donation. If you have already submitted a donation on behalf of your family, Thank You! Our goal is to have each family of Bay Harbor donate at least $40 to allow the PTO to support the students, teachers, and families of our Bay Harbor community.
By making a donation, 100% of your money goes right back to the students and families of our school. Think of all the wonderful things we have done so far… robotics, green screens, and even a new playground. Not to mention, your donation is also tax deductible!
Watch for a Donation Drive form and a return envelope to be coming home with all students today!
Please consider donating whatever you can during our annual Donation Drive by filling out your donation drive form and including it with your donation. Following the Donation Drive, a receipt will be sent home with your child for your records. Please make checks payable to Bay Harbor PTO.
Again, If you have already submitted a donation on behalf of your family, THANK YOU!
Your donation can be turned into the school office. Thank you for your commitment to our wonderful school!
Heather Ebeling, Bay Harbor PTO Secretary
