Programs
Fundraising
PTA membership dues raise roughly only 10% of the income needed by the GCES PTA. Few people realize that the GCES PTA must raise roughly $35 per student in the school through additional fundraising to meet its annual budget. The Gorman Crossing Elementary PTA offers a variety of fundraising programs and services to finance its activities. Most fundraisers must be held soon after school starts in the fall in order to enable the GCES PTA board to budget for the school year's commitments. Extensive efforts are made to provide a range of fundraising programs to benefit and appeal to everyone. Please be generous.
As you look through the list of fundraisers and would like to lend a hand and have some fun helping, please consider volunteering. WE CAN DEFINITELY USE YOUR HELP!!! There are plenty of opportunities to volunteer throughout the year, even during the summer and winter breaks. For more information on volunteering, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator Amber McCann at ambermccann@gmail.com .
