A
Word about Fundraisers
We do fundraisers through the year, but do not expect Kirk families to
participate in all of them. We try to have a variety so that you can have a
choice of how you would like to financially support Kirk PTA.
The money raised is used for:
Operating costs such as paper, stamps, phone
Our special project this year is to raise enough money to update our technology.
There are many ways to get involved with Kirk PTA and all support is appreciated. Whether you can help with one project or several or show support by paying for a membership, we thank you!
