The Direct Drive is a way for all members of the Lawton community to come together and show our support for the students, teachers, staff, and families of our school.
The Direct Drive is our biggest and most important fundraiser of the year, and we encourage all families to participate. While financial donations are greatly appreciated, they are not required for participation. 100% of any donations go directly towards funding the PTA budget for the school year. See below for additional information regarding the important programs and needs funded by the budget.
How much am I being asked to donate, and why?
With our current enrollment, the budget covers approximately $436 per child. We understand that not every family is able to give at the same level, so please consider giving at the level with which you are comfortable.
For those that are able, donating at a higher level helps to ensure we can cover our PTA budget for all students. Even if you do not donate, please go online to participate!
This year the Direct Drive funding supports the following:
• Arts & Science Programs
• Technology licenses
• Librarian
• Recess & Lunch Monitors
• And much m
Can friends and family donate?
Absolutely!!!
If you have friends or family that wish to donate to the Direct Drive fundraiser, please send them this link www.lawtonelementarypta.schoolauction.net/directdrive2022
Are there any incentives?
Yes!!
We will be raffling prizes for families who participate during the duration of the Direct Drive. The raffles are cumulative so the earlier you participate the better! Examples of prizes raffled this year include:
• Themed gift baskets from local grocery stores
• Gift cards to local restaurants and businesses
• Tickets to events in the greater Seattle area
• And more!!
All classes with full participation will receive an extra recess, and the first class with full participation will have popsicles to celebrate!
I have questions. Who do I contact?
If you have any questions or need any additional information, reach out to Maggie Gendron or Katie Morris, the Co-Chairs of Fundraising for Lawton PTA at fundraising@lawtonelementary.org.
