WHAT IS THE EISENHOWLER?
The Eisenhowler is Eisenhower’s biggest PTO fundraiser and brings in the most revenue to cover all costs of your child/children’s school activities for the entire year! It is Eisenhower’s only major fundraiser throughout the year.
Examples of what the funds raised have supported in the past:
o All Field trips and transportation for all grades for the entire school year
o Assemblies and educational programs o All PTO committees that allow for
community building activities like: Grade Level Nights, Book Fair, Family Bingo Night, Reading Night, Holiday Mart and more…
o New technology for classrooms o Funding for Teacher classroom requests
WHAT’S NEW IN 2018
EISENHOWLER SURVIVAL GUIDE & ONLINE ORDERING
This year we wanted to streamline the process and send out the Eisenhowler Survival Guide with everything you need to know as one packet.
In the Guide you will find all your forms that need to be sent in with a Refrigerator Reminder Sheet for dates to remember.
The Eisenhowler Survival Guide will also be found on the Eisenhower website PTO page along with the new Eisenhowler Online Store which will enable you to Pre-Sale your Bracelets and Tickets for the event and will be sent home with your child. In addition, you will also be able to “Branch Out and LEAF Your Mark” with our Sponsorship donations also available online.
