WHERE EXACTLY DOES THE MONEY RAISED FROM OUR "StingRAE Auction" GO?
Right back to the kids - here’s how…

- The money each specials team & grade level earns from their item goes to that grade to use to enhance the teaching and learning environment for their students.

- Funds from the Student-Staff Basketball Game Players, Cheerleaders, and Principal items will go toward staff development, classroom technology, and instructional material.

MATCHING CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS

Many companies have programs through which they will “match” the charitable contributions made by their employees. Through such a program, your employer can multiply your gift, making it go even further. Check with your company’s Human Resource office to see if they offer gift matching. If they do not, you may want to ask if they are willing to start one. Of course, this is all TAX DEDUCTIBLE! Good luck, have fun, and please direct any questions to Lisa Preen – Financial Clerk at lisapreen@katyisd.org

We are a parent teacher association for Roosevelt Alexander Elementary school.
