Thurgood Marshall Annual Fund 2009-2010

Thurgood Marshall is a rich and vibrant community and the PTSA is pleased to be a part of it. We invite you to support our students, teachers, and entire school through a gift to the Annual Fund. Gifts of any size are deeply appreciated.  

Here's how you can make your gift today:

1. Send a check (payable to Thurgood Marshall PTSA) and mail it to:  

Thurgood Marshall PTSA Annual Fund
PO Box 45286
Seattle, WA 98145-0286

2.   Make your gift online via our secure site using your credit card. With this option, you can schedule recurring contributions (e.g., monthly) to suit your budget needs!               

 

Why should I give to the Annual Fund?

Instrumental music lessons, drama workshops, field trips, grade-level events, tutoring, classroom grants for every teacher...and this is just the beginning.

Every student at Thurgood Marshall benefits from the Annual Fund.   In the classroom, on the playground, before or after school, we are building our community and we welcome everyone to participate.  

The Annual Fund helps to fill the gaps and provides funds that touch the lives of   every   student at the school. For example:                                                

·  Classroom teachers simply do not receive enough for books, supplies or special projects and activities .   But the Annual Fund provides each teacher with $250 that she or he can count on in planning their enrichment activities.

·   Investments in our school building are supplemented by the Annual Fund, including new soccer goals, bulletin boards in the hallways to display our children's work, and resources for the library.

·    The Annual Fund allows our students to benefit from a full time music teacher, who provides free choir programs for all students before school, and instrumental music instruction during school.

·   Additional equipment and staff to ensure safety at recess are covered by the Annual Fund.

·   Professional development for all Thurgood Marshall classroom teachers in our Writing Workshop curriculum is supported by Annual Fund dollars.

  · And much more!

The PTSA and Principal Julie Breidenbach worked together to develop this year's school budget and we have a goal of $65,000.  

To reach this goal, we welcome donations from every Thurgood Marshall family (and friends).   Whether you are able to give $5 or $500, your gift will be greatly appreciated by our entire community.     Thank you!
