Why We Fundraise
Fundraising is one of the main ways RAE PTA helps our school maintain its standard of excellence! Our fundraisers help provide our school with educational enrichment by purchasing technology, materials, and requested professional development that is not in the school budget. Additionally, RAE PTA enhances our school community with many programs and services, acts of hospitality, and campus upgrades throughout the years.
