Fundraising

Fundraising events at Joaquin Miller are essential if we are to continue offering our children the best possible education. The money we raise is put to many uses:

  • Instructional material, equipment, books, and teacher workshops
  • Student projects, field trips and assemblies
  • Salaries for the adjunct staff that would not be funded by the district (such as the librarians, motor development and computer coordinators, classroom assistants, song flute instructor)
  • Computers and software
  • Playground and motor development equipment
  • Installation of mini blinds in all classrooms
  • Digital kiln for the school
  • Design and planting of the garden in the front of the school

The Raffle and Fall Auction, the Walk-A-Thon, the Spring Fair, eSCRIP and Amazon are our principal fundraisers. Please attend and spend at these fun and popular events, and sign up for scrip to support your school. Contact any member of the PTA board to express your interest in helping make these events an even greater success.

You can make a contribution anytime to the JM-PTA via Razoo.com (External Linklearn how it works here) by clicking the button below. Any gift, large or small, helps our school. Thank you for your generosity!

Corporate Matching Campaigns

Your contributions can have twice the impact if you participate in your company's matching program. Employee matching gifts often are dollar-for-dollar, but some companies will give double or even triple the original donation. Matching gifts can be requested for any contribution you make, even your Walk-A-Thon pledge! Some companies may also give matching gifts for employees’ volunteer efforts.

To see if your company participates, check the list here or ask your HR contact. To request a matching gift, just fill out the form on your corporate web site or request one from your HR contact.
