The Mustang Drive kicks off Thursday, January 26 with fun-filled assemblies!  The Mustang Drive supports many critical Rogers programs that benefit our great students and amazing teachers and staff.Prior years’ Mustang Drives supported this year’s WEB program, enrichment programs such as BrainPop, field trips such as PALI, student clubs and activities, PE and lunch activity supplies, the student wellness center, 8th grade end-of-year activities, and special projects such as the new gymnasium scoreboard.

What is our goal? Our goal is to raise $50,000 to ensure that these field trips, studentprograms and enrichment, teacher wish lists and other important programs andactivities continue to be funded. Rogers PTA will also continue to fund the WEBprogram, which creates a positive, caring school culture by empowering our 8th gradersto support our 6th and 7th graders at school.

Watch your student’s backpacks!  On January 26th, Students will take home a pledgeenvelope, instructions on how to sign up for PledgeStar, our MustangDrive online fundraising portal, information about the great prizes and incentives ourRogers students can win, and more!

Fundraising takes place from January 26th to March 2nd and culminates in a celebration for the whole school on March 3rd.  Using fun incentives like treats and great prizes, the Mustang Drive encourages students to raise money and help their school. Students raise money via PledgeStar or direct donations and can earn rewards.Treats and prizes are awarded based on fundraising efforts, such as sending emails or texts via PledgeStar, as well on dollars raised. Golden Tickets will be awarded to students who raise $75 or more. In addition, classes that raise the most collectively will earn special rewards.
