2023-2024 Cherokee Bend Family PTO Financial Requests

 

Over the course of the school year, Chief PTO organizes several fundraisers that directly benefit CBS. We know that everyone’s finances are different and that you may not be able to participate in all of these events. We also know that most families like to plan ahead!

 

Here is a tentative outline of Chief PTO’s fundraisers for the upcoming school year. We are so grateful for the generous families at CBS and are looking forward to a great year together! 

 

Chief Sponsors Campaign (July-August)

*This is our biggest and most important fundraiser of the year!

 

  • Giving levels outlined here.

 

 

PTO Dues (Fall)

*Included in your Chief Sponsor Membership

  • $25 and includes membership in the PTO and access to the School Directory (online only this year)

 

Grand Chief’s Campaign (Fall)

  • We love to get our Grandparents involved at The Bend! We plan to invite Grand Chiefs to read to classes or eat lunch with their Chiefs this year.

Boosterthon (April 2024) 

  • A very fun week at Cherokee Bend, every time a donation/pledge goal is met, a class will win prizes like doughnut parties and dance parties, all run by Boosterthon pros. At the end of the week Boosterthon puts on a blow up obstacle run with a DJ that the kids love! Donations can be any amount, and anyone can give, including cousins, neighbors, or grandparents.

 

Carnival (May 3, 2024)

*This is a great school-wide event (not a fundraiser) that your kids don’t want to miss!

  • The year ends with a big exciting Carnival to celebrate. This labor of love includes all hands on deck volunteering. We sell Carnival t-shirts for the kiddos to wear that day and as a keepsake plus tickets to cover the cost of this large undertaking. Tickets and t-shirts are $30 pp. We also offer booth sponsorships for $100 each.
