WHAT IS "ONE & DONE"?
The “One & Done” fundraising campaign is the main annual fundraiser at Kent Gardens Elementary and it’s just like it sounds… You make one contribution and you’re done! “One & Done” is a convenient way for families to support the school and our kids’ education by meeting the fundraising goal early in the year. The school administration counts on these funds every year. With a successful campaign, the PTA is able to reduce other fundraising efforts and stop bugging you for money!
HOW ARE "ONE & DONE" FUNDS USED?
2022: The PTA purchased ukuleles and risers for the music program, rolling carts for Gym, class t-shirts for the entire school, technology equipment for the new portable classrooms. We continue to support International Night, Literacy Night, and Steam Night.
In 2021, we supported our school in a variety of ways: We supported the library and purchased “Book Return” carts for each classroom, we purchased tents which provided much needed shade during our Field Day and 6th Grade Celebration events, and we were able to replace each water fountain in the school with a water bottle filling station, increasing the number of filling stations throughout the school.
We also supported the teachers with meals and events throughout the year and began purchasing items that will help freshen up the Staff Lounge.
In 2020, we helped give teachers the tools they needed to teach virtually. We raised money to purchase online subscriptions to enhance your student’s learning, offer professional development for staff and state-of-the-art educational materials for classrooms.
In 2019, we installed water bottle filling stations in high traffic areas in the school and provided additional picnic tables to facilitate outdoor learning In 2018, the PTA renovated and expanded the school playground and built and paved the NEW running track. In 2017, we purchased new laptops for all 5th graders. We also hope to continue to support student educational enrichment (author visits, cultural arts assemblies), state-of-the-art educational materials and books, and needed classroom supplies.
