Art To Remember

This fundraiser uses our children’s artwork they do in class. Their artwork can be transformed into many different items which are available for purchase. Volunteers are needed to help order the items and distribute them upon delivery.

Birthdays

Once a month, all students who have a birthday in that month can choose between a piece of cake or a bookmark in the cafeteria during their lunch period. (Summer birthdays are not forgotten!) Committee members distribute the cake and bookmarks. Cost is covered by the PTO and Sodexho.

Book Fairs

Scholastic Book Fairs in the fall and spring allow students to buy books during their library time or before/after school. Parents may shop any time during book fair hours. Volunteers are needed each day to set up and organize the books, help students make their choices, get information from teachers for their “wish lists” and collect money. Proceeds from the fall fair are used to acquire books for Moye's library; proceeds from the spring fair are used to help students buy books at half price. Thursday evening of Book Fair week is “Family Reading Night” and “Donuts with Dad” is before school.

Get Smart With Art

This state-recognized program is designed to expose students to different types of art in a comfortable, age-appropriate manner. Volunteers present a different work of art once a month to their selected grade (October through May). Volunteers help create presentations that encourage both fun and an understanding of art. A presentation takes about 20-30 minutes for each class. Schedules are developed at the beginning of the school year for flexibility between presenter(s) and teachers. There is no need to have any art background. All materials are provided.

Grants

This committee finds and writes grants for PTO sponsored programs.

Staff Wish Tree

This committee puts up a small Christmas tree at Moye. They distribute “ornaments” that teachers complete with their wishes for their classrooms. These are hung on the tree (by the committee) as a way to help parents know which holiday gifts for teachers will be most appreciated.

Trivia Night/Auction

This will be the primary fundraiser for our school. In an effort to keep our kids from having to sell various items to the general public, traditionally the PTO has hosted an adult evening including a dinner and silent/live auctions. Last year, this event netted more than $28,000 for our school, allowing our PTO to provide many much needed and anticipated programs for our school. This year, we will be hosting a Trivia Night/Auction. Please consider offering your help.

Yearbook/DVDs

This committee takes pictures throughout the year of different events for the yearbook and records each school play for DVD sales. Volunteers are needed to record and edit the plays and burn the DVDs.
