Our goal is to raise $8,000 for this year’s field trips, roller skating, and assemblies.  We will reach our goal if each student sells at least 3 items. 

The PTO provides activities to the students at BES throughout the year.  Everything that the PTO sponsors or provides is funded solely by direct contributions, donations and fundraising. Every cent that is raised by the PTO is put back into the school in some way, shape or form.  The PTO does not expect every family to participate in every fundraiser; we just hope that each family finds at least one that appeal to them.
