Annual Appeal
The Willard Parent Teacher Group (PTG) is looking forward to continuing our work of supporting students, providing resources for teachers, and building community. The PTG already has lots of programs and activities planned for this school year which are made possible by gifts to the Annual Appeal!
Historically, we have raised the majority of our fundraising goal through the Annual Appeal. This is a simple, one-time request for a donation from you, our parent community.
The Willard PTG is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization (tax identification # 23-7352649). Donations are tax deductible.
Your contributions fund:
Funds for teachers to use for professional development and to buy classroom supplies including items to help them adjust to our new safety protocols.
Appreciation events for teachers and staff such as coffee service, gifts, luncheons and breakfasts.
School traditions from welcoming new families to events such as the book fair, game night, the International Festival, the Talent Show, Picture Day and the 5th grade celebration.
School counselor funds to help families in need purchase items like school supplies or books from our fair.
