ALT’s One World Donation Program 2010-2011

Can you believe it? Summer is almost over! Finally, you can go back to a ‘Routine.’ We hope that your summer has been fun and hopefully somewhat relaxing. Now it’s time for a wonderful year ahead at ALT. We want to share all that your PTO Executive Board has planned for you and your kids in 2010-2011 school year.

We are very excited for the Theme for next year – ‘One World.’ The richness of America’s diversity can truly be a tremendous national resource. In order to achieve this potential it is critically important that our students are able to understand and respect each other. To support this we at ALT PTO are bringing 5 great School Assemblies for our Theme – Celebrating America’s Multicultural Heritage in October, Multicultural Holiday Show in December, World of dance in January, ''Gems: The World's Wisdom Stories in March and World of Instruments in May.

Based on the success of our donation program and parents wishes, we are going to continue the format that we have been following for last few years. That means - ‘No Fundraising.’ We know that economy is on a rebound, but we want to be fiscally conservative, and so are requesting the same amount we did last year when it was a slow economic year. We are asking all families to make a tax deductible donation till September 29th, 2010 - minimum of $50 per child or $100 per family of two children or more but we encourage families to do more if they can.

In order to bring all of our PTO sponsored events to fruition; it will cost the PTO over $60,000. It is an incredible amount of money, but our children are well worth it. Join us and help make a difference in hundreds of lives - including the one that’s closest to your heart. Most of the money we need will be made up by PTO volunteer run programs like Food Days, Book Fair & Gift Fair. But we still need more to cover all the programs. Your donations help with all the following programs in our budget:-

School Assemblies (Theme Days)	$7500	Fifth Grade Event & Yearbook	$5000
Field Day	$2800	School Directory	$2000
Stipends for teachers to use in Classrooms	$9000	Homeroom Parent Class Budget	$950
Literature Day (Author’s visit & signed book for every child)	$6000	School Spirit Gift (A hat for every child)	$3850
Family Fun Events - (Patriots Game, Movie Night)	$4500	4th & 5th Grade Planners	$500
Staff Appreciation Week	$2800	Ongoing Technology Improvements	$9800

Attached you will find our donation form on the back of this letter. You can either mail your check to the school at 46 Washington Valley Road (just make sure you put it to the attention of the PTO), or if you prefer, you can send it in an envelope via your child’s backpack once school begins. We are asking that all donations be made by September 29, 2010. Of course, all checks should be made payable to the ALT-PTO. You can also make your donations online at www.myfooddays.com. Every dollar goes to the PTO and all contributions are tax deductible.

Thank You,

ALT PTO Executive Board
