TILLICUM MIDDLE SCHOOL
PTA FALL FUNDRAISER

Why the PTA is important, especially in 2023-2024:

1. The PTA directly improves our children's education - and it’s tax deductible!
2. PTA funding sets Tillicum apart by providing superior resources.
3. We're committed to a $40,000 budget for Tillicum.
4. With potential district school consolidation, PTA's role is more vital than ever. This year is not the year to be complacent!
5. With only 15% participation, we need your time or donations. Let's make a difference! Without your help, programs will have to be cut.

Please donate to Tillicum Middle School!
Every dollar counts.
**We have a goal of raising $100 per family**
