Dear Friends and Family,

Our annual Move-A-Thon is right around the corner, and I'm raising money for our Music and Garden Ranger Programs!

I take weekly music classes with Mrs. Walsh, where we learn music theory, keyboard and vocals. In the upper grades, we learn the recorder and ukulele and can join the school choir!

Our garden is a special place where we have outdoor classes with a nature expert. We grow plants, learn about soil and pollinators, and are surrounded by nature right on our play yard.

Our Move-A-Thon is an awesome day filled with fun physical activities. This year, we're having a wizarding tournament like in Harry Potter!

Thank you for supporting me and my elementary school.

About this fundraiser:

Our school PTA works hard to ensure every child has an enriching experience while at school. Our Music and Garden Ranger Programs, along with other enrichment classes, expose our students to unique learning opportunities and help make school a fun place to be.

Our music program is provided by Education Through Music (ETM-LA), which utilizes music education to improve self-confidence and nurture skills that help students thrive. The wonderful Mrs. Walsh teaches weekly music lessons all year long. It's scientifically proven that music education makes kids more empathetic, as well as better at math!

Our Enrich LA Garden Ranger Program includes a trained garden teacher who instructs each class for 6-8 weeks. The students learn about plant life cycles, soil, urban gardening, and the importance of native pollinators.

If we exceed our goal, we can do even more! In just the past two years, our excess funds helped get us our TURF FIELD and our GAGA BALL games! The school yard has never been more fun for our Tigers!

We have 533 students this year, which means we need to average $120 per student to get to our goal.

Thank you for your support, and please share as widely as you can!
