MONEY
Up-front Donations
We suggest $100/family but you can always donate more or less, and you can donate any time during the year. If you choose, you can consider donating in lieu of year-long PTA fundraising. We will still inform you of traditional PTA fundraising activities, but you can ignore them guilt-free! A donation like this for which you receive no service or goods is tax deductible. You can pay via credit card, PayPal or write a check to "GUFS PTA." Again--we accept donations any time for any amount.
Support Fundraising Activites
Buy hot lunch, books at the book fair, refreshments at the school concerts, Sally Foster products online, or Kids' Art stationery, and send in your Box Tops. Everything you purchase helps fund PTA initiatives!

There are a variety of ways to participate in PTA—don’t think you need 10 hrs/wk to be an active part of PTA! Our goal is that every PTA member find a way to contribute that fits their constraints. We welcome whatever time, resources, skills, or ideas you have. Click here to check out our volunteer form.
