We will present 3 major opportunities for charitable giving and fundraising participation this school year.

  1. Stratton Annual Fundraising (Givebutter)

    This major fundraiser's primary goal is to get as many members of the Stratton community as possible to give to the PTO in whatever way they can. Typically accounts for about 1/3 of our annual budget.

  2. Our Online Auction

    The online auction is an opportunity to score great deals on highly desired summer camps, gift certificates for local businesses, fun experiences, vacation opportunities and so much more! Funds raised through the auction will account for another 1/3 of our budget.

  3. 2nd Annual Rainbow Run

    This is a run/walk fundraising event where participants are showered with colorful powder by parents and staff volunteers throughout a running loop on the Stratton field. Students register to participate as well as create fundraising pages to share with family and friends to support Stratton. The final 1/3 of our budget will be raised here.

In order to facilitate our School's Enrichment programming, and provide classroom support through Teacher Grants, our operational expenditures run approximately $60,000 per school year.
