The Cougar Patrons Program offers families the opportunity to make direct, tax-deductible donations to the PTA* as a supplement or alternative to participation in other fundraising programs. Cougar Patron donations are our most effective fundraising vehicle, since 100% of your donation goes directly into the PTA treasury. What’s more, this program requires very little effort on the part of our busy parent volunteers!

How the PTA spends your money… 

Supporting Our Teachers
More than 40% of the money we raise goes back to the classroom in the form of Teacher Grants, which provide each teacher with an allowance for school and educational supplies. This category also includes activities and programs associated with Teacher Appreciation Week. 

Supporting our Children
We sponsor a variety of programs that enrich our children’s learning experience, from Cultural Arts assemblies to the Young Author’s Program, Field Day, Yearbooks and more. Child-focused programming makes up nearly 40% of our annual budget.

Supporting CES Families
Family Fun Nights, the Back-to-School Picnic and Parenting Seminars are just a few ways the CES PTA serves families. About 20% of our budget is reserved for these activities. 

Community Outreach
With the remaining funds, the PTA supports community outreach programs, like Salvation Army Angels.
