We hope you received our flyer in your student’s backpack, and we have linked to the digital copy HERE. Read it to learn more about how the Anderson PTA raises funds, and understand how critical the role of Direct Appeal is in bridging the gap between what the DOE provides and what the robust Anderson experience looks like across K-8. We hope all families will participate, regardless of donation size.
