Fundraising
We provide a great deal of financial support to Pittsfield students and teachers each year. Without fundraisers, there would be no money to help pay for field trips and transportation, school assemblies or other classroom extras. Fundraising is essential to continue PTO's mission to support and enhance learning at Pittsfield Elementary School!
The PTO sponsors a variety of fundraisers. Whether it is a direct sales fundraiser or a merchant-sponsored program, your support of these programs makes a difference for the students at Pittsfield.
Fall Fundraiser
This year's Fall Fundraiser will be a direct sales fundraiser through Great American Fundraising. If we reach our sales goal, we may not need to have any further fundraisers!
Winter Fundraiser
To Be Determined
Market Day
Through the Market Day program you can order a variety of frozen foods. Each month you will find an order form in your student's backpack. Whether you are looking for meals you can make in hurry or something for the lunchbox, Market Day may have something to interest you. Orders can be placed using the paper order form or online at www.marketday.com. Orders are delivered to school for pick up. PTO receives a percentage of each Market Day sale. Use the Pittsfield Elementary School ID number 18580 when placing your order.
Merchant Sponsored
There are four great merchant programs that benefit Pittsfield PTO and don't cost you anything extra. With just a few extra steps you can make a big difference!
