Thank you Pierce families!!!

It's Pierce PTO Annual Appeal Time - Please donate!
Dear Pierce Families,

Today you can make a difference for the students you love and care about.  This week, we kick off the Pierce Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) Annual Appeal to raise money to support academic, cultural, and community enrichment activities for Pierce students, teachers, and families.  All Pierce parents are PTO members and once a year, during this Annual Appeal, we ask families to be as generous as they can to support the PTO. 

Why should I give to the Annual Appeal?
  • It’s a sound investment: 100% of your contribution goes to Pierce students, teachers, and families for enrichment activities.
  • Your dollars make a real difference: Even with Brookline’s considerable resources, there are still gaps in what our district can offer its students.  PTO resources are used to bridge these gaps through:
     - Technology and supplies for classrooms
     - Class field trips
     - In-school science, arts, and cultural assemblies
     - Community events such as Skate Night, Pierce Reads, FitFest, and the end-of-year picnic
     - Academic enrichment such as before-school math and reading programs…and more!
  • Now more than ever: Pierce is now the largest elementary school in Brookline.  Every one of our 816 students deserves all that we can give him or her.  With resources stretched further than ever before, your contribution helps to ensure that Pierce remains a school of which we can all be proud.
  • The Annual Appeal comes but once a year: Give now, and rest easy for the duration of the year knowing you’ve done your part for Pierce students.
How much should I give?
No donation is too small! The PTO will spend more than $125 per student for the 2014-2015 school year. Any amount you can give toward this amount is appreciated -- truly.  We want our students to know that all Pierce families care about them and all Pierce families care about their school. If your family is able to give a bit more, we are delighted to use that extra amount to help subsidize other families. We’re aiming for 100% family participation.  Any amount counts.

Please help us continue to offer our students all that we can by making a donation today. Checks can be made out to “Pierce PTO” and returned to the PTO mailboxes near the main office and cafeteria (look for the giant penguins!).  You can also make a secure donation online using the donate button at left or below.  All contributions to the Pierce PTO are tax deductible and will be acknowledged with a receipt for tax purposes.  The PTO’s tax ID number is 35-2197562. Please also consider using your employer’s matching grant program.
