help fill our Eagle's Nest
The PTC raises funds for a variety of school needs: technology, classroom supplies, library books, enrichment programs, assemblies, field trips, equipment and much more. To do so, the PTC plans an assortment of fundraisers during the school year.
The EAGLE'S NEST is our largest fundraiser that helps pay for things that are not fully covered by the school budget. We depend on the generosity of our East School Community: parents, grandparents, staff and friends. We aim to raise $150,000 to cover the cost of our programs and the new Playground project. Click HERE to hear what some of our students have to say about this exciting project.
Our goal is to have 100% participation. No donation is too big or too small.
