The Rogers Mustang Drive is here! Our goal this year is to raise $50,000 to support the WEB program, enrichment programs, field trips like PALI, student clubs, PE, lunch, and family activities and programs, teacher wish lists, the student wellness center and more! If every Rogers student raises $75 we will meet our goal!
Fundraising takes place from now through March 2nd and culminates in a celebration for the whole school on March 3rd.
Students raise money via PledgeStar or direct donations. Treats and prizes are awarded based on students’ fundraising efforts, such as sending emails or texts via PledgeStar, as well as the amounts of their fundraising. Your child will thank you for the weekly treats planned just for registering emails.
THIS THURSDAY IS OUR FIRST INCENTIVE DEADLINE – Send out 5 emails/texts or collect 5 donations and your student will get a popsicle on Friday.
In addition, classes that raise the most collectively, will earn special rewards.
Where can I start?
- Sign up: https://pledgestar.com/rogers/
- Add family and friends to PledgeStar to send donation requests by email or text or collect direct donations using the pledge envelope.
- Post a donation request on Facebook via PledgeStar.
Also, for the first time this year, FAMILY SPONSORSHIPS are available to our Mustangs. It is a great way to get closer to your fundraising goal and get your name on the t-shirts. A limited number of t-shirt sponsorships are available at the PTA Webstore. More details are available here (corporate sponsorships) and here (family sponsorships).
