School Supply Wishlist
2023-2024 Recommended Supply List

Overview

The following school supplies are requested items that each family should supply on the first day of school. We ask parents to provide these supplies due to our limited budget, but we understand that some of these items may be difficult for families to purchase. It is not a requirement that you purchase them. We will use site funding to ensure that every child has what they need to learn each day, and we appreciate any and all contributions you make to our school.

Passive Fundraising Opportunities

Overview

Here are a handful of ways you can raise funds for our school while going about your daily activities. All that is required of you is to register with participating companies and then spend as you normally would. The companies give a percentage of your spending back to Caleb Greenwood. It’s that simple and it works!

Please participate. Encourage friends and family to participate. By the end of the year, each family will have contributed a few hundred dollars without giving up any extra time or money!

Did you know that many employers sponsor matching gift programs and may match your donations to the Caleb Greenwood PTSO.  Some companies even award money to our organization for your volunteer hours!  All donations to the Caleb Greenwood PTSO help to support our students and school and you may be able to double the impact of your gift.  

To check if your company will match your donation:=

Step 1 – Check with HR to see if the company has a matching gift program.

Step 2 – Submit for the matching gift following program rules (be aware of submission deadline or limits)

Step 3 – Once you have submitted the matching gift request or if you have questions, please contact us at CalebGreenwoodPTSO@gmail.com

Office Depot’s 5% Back to School Program
