Ortega Elementary School PTO

The Ortega Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) raises funds for important projects and programs at our school. This year, Ortega is having a COLOR WALK to raise funds. A color walk is like a normal walk-a-thon, but with more flair and color! As students pass by various checkpoints, they will be showered with color from parents participating at the color stations. The non-toxic powder contains corn starch, baking soda and food dye.

 

Ortega PTO will be providing each student participant with a COLOR WALK t-shirt, sunglasses, and a mask. Ortega PTO is asking for a suggested donation of $10 for kids t-shirts.  All parents should fill out a t-shirt order form, linked above, to turn into the teachers.  Adult sized t-shirts are also available for purchase on the order form.  The sunglasses, mask, and t-shirt may be worn on the day of the walk.  Order your T-Shirt by September 30th using the form above. 

 

The money collected from COLOR WALK will be used to help pay for Ortega's:

​

• Garden Science Fellow,

• Art Instructor, 

• Play Works (P.E.) Instructor, and

• Teacher Stipends . . .  just to name a few.

 

100% of the money raised from the COLOR WALK goes to our school! No middle man/company that we have to pay!

 

It’s a great way for our students to spend a day earning money for our school while promoting physical fitness. This year we will be holding this fundraiser on Friday, October 14th during school hours.

​

Students are gathering sponsors by asking for friends, family, and neighbors for flat sum donations.   Pledges are a flat amount, not per lap. The completed Sponsor Sheet & Pledge Money must be turned in to the front office or student’s teacher by Friday, October 14, to qualify for prizes. Ortega will announce the prize winners the following week!
