·         Difference:         $9,538
·         Difference:         $15,502
o   We can justify the difference in spending the extra $15,502 in 14-15 because of the $9,538 that was left from 13-14.  This $9,538 was absorbed into the carryover of $39,594 that we started 2014-15 with.
o   In order to fully fund the technology needed we would need to pull $15,502 from the reserves. 
o   This additional $5,502, above and beyond our $10,000 reserve amount would be no problem due to the fact that year-to-date we are already $15,973 ahead of budgeted income, without Family Fun Night.  We are also $26,000 below in expenses with only 4 months left of the year.

Classroom “Theme Basket” Auction

The Family Fun Night and Silent Auction this year will feature Themed Baskets filled with contributions from students and families of Englewood. The money raised will help pay for PTC funded events and supplies; Field trips, classroom enrichment, technology, after school family nights, art, and other supplies not allocated by the district.

The auction will take place at the Family Fun Night, Friday, May 1st.         

The baskets need items in all price ranges – it’s up to you what you can and want to donate. Gift cards are always a good idea! You don’t necessarily have to buy something – a recipe or perhaps “recycled items” for art supplies work too. You could also partner with other parents to purchase a larger item. Talk to your child’s teacher if you’re interested in helping to purchase the basket (or theme-related container) for your grade’s basket. Or maybe ask a local business to donate something that fits. Be creative! 

Donations are due to your child’s class by Friday, April 24th. We can’t wait to see all the great things you and your kids come up with!

Englewood's 2nd Annual Jog-A-Thon Was A Success!

Last week, the Englewood PTC officially wrapped up our Jog-A-Thon fundraiser festivities with the $60 party.  

This year, Englewood students raised a grand total of $13,101.65!  Way to go, Englewood Eagles!


The PTC would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge everyone who helped us make this a fun and successful event.  We had some amazing volunteers help out on the day of the Jog-A-Thon as well as at the $60 party. Thanks to our generous T-shirt sponsors we were able to give each Englewood student and staff member a Jog-A-Thon t-shirt.  We also had some very generous community support that allowed us to reward each classroom for the awesome job they did raising money for our school.   Chuck E. Cheese donated 30 pizzas for our reward parties and Winco gave us gift cards that allowed us to purchase supplies for the classroom ice cream parties and for the $60 party.  Our students worked hard raising so much money for our school, and we are very grateful to have had so much support in rewarding them for all their hard work!


Thank you to our T-shirt sponsors:
