Fundraising
The funds raised by Barnard PTA benefit all students. The Barnard PTA is a non-profit organization (Tax ID# 20-5947705) that funds critical education programs for our school, such as:
- Native Mandarin-speaking teaching interns
- Differentiated/online learning programs including iReady, Achieve 3000, RazKids, iChinese, Scholastic News magazine for kids, and others
- Supplemental science, art, and literacy programs
- Monthly academic enrichment and social events
- Campus improvement and outdoor shade, play, and resource equipment
- Field trips for every class (yeah, the PTA pays for all of that!)
- Student planners
- English and Chinese books for classrooms and libraries
- Classroom supplies for every teacher
- and so much more!
Barnard’s three major fundraisers of the year are:
- The Barnard Annual Giving (BAG) program where we ask our families to contribute (now – continuous)
- Jog-a-thon (Late Fall/Winter) where students are encouraged to ask friends and family to support them participating in the Jog-a-Thon
- Annual Fundraising Gala (Spring) parents’ night out with food, dancing, live and silent auctions
Additionally, we partner with our Corporate Sponsors and various organizations, including Amazon, Box Tops, Staples, local restaurants and grocery stores, for other fundraising opportunities.
