WHERE DID YOUR PTC MONEY GO ?
Did you know that our PTC has an annual budget of just under $18,000? We are extremely proud that our PTC spends the most per child than any other elementary school in Rockford! With schools facing hardships with budget cuts, the programs, activities & events that our PTC provides and funds to enrich our children's education are more important than ever!
Here's what most of your $18,000 PTC budget provided for our awesome kids this year:
Classroom Funding - The PTC provides money to our classroom teachers, Art/Music/PE teachers and reading resource teachers each school year. These funds are relied on by our teachers and used for classroom materials and supplies that are not provided by the district.
Field Trip Transportation -The PTC provides money for field trip transportation for our students each school year.
Teacher Grants - The PTC approved many grants to teachers who made presentations to the PTC for something extra for their classrooms this year. Those grants include: Words Their Way phonics study books for 1st grade, Non-fiction books for the 2nd grade, Listening Center books for the 3rd grade, funding for new/split 3rd grade class, 4 Kindle Fires for the 4th grade, transportation for 5th grade field trip to the GR Symphony, and supplies for 1st & 4th grade hand-made parent gifts.
Assemblies -The PTC spends around $2,000 to provide Cannonsburg kids with fun and educational assemblies each year. We are one of only a few Rockford elementary schools that have assemblies (and our kids love them)!
Fun Events & Activities - PTC budgets money for fun events and activities including Donuts with Dad, Muffins with Mom, Christmas Crafts, Evening with Santa, Field Day, Talent Show, popcorn days and Staff Appreciation Luncheon just to name a few! We also hold the annual school Carnival & Auction (which pays for itself & is also one of the main fundraisers for our school).
Library - The PTC gave to our school library .
5th Grade Celebrations - $850: The PTC celebrated our graduating 5th graders by paying $550 towards the 5th grade Memory Book & $300 towards their end of the year 5th grade party.
Special Field Trips -The PTC paid $275 towards charter bus transportation costs for each of the following special field trips: 3rd grade Lansing trip, 4th grade Greenfield Village trip & 5th grade Chicago trip.
Technology -The PTC gave money to our school technology fund last year.
THANK YOU! We would like to THANK all of the incredible Cannonsburg parents who have volunteered their time and donated their money to support our fundraisers this year so the PTC could provide these important funding and activities for our school. We couldn't do it without all of your volunteer hours for our many committees and generous support & staffing of our main fundraisers (Fall Walk-a-Thon, Free $$ Poker Fundraisers, & Carnival Auction), as well as the Yankee Candle & Entertainment books sales and the Box Tops collections. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT OF OUR WONDERFUL SCHOOL!
