Family Participation
We are aiming for 100% family participation!
You can make a difference at PS20 — by donating time or money. Every contribution is an investment in our students’ growth, our school’s future, and our community’s strength.
Just 10 minutes here and there makes a huge difference. Can you help us with cook labs, selling books, fundraising, or grant writing? Are you tech-savvy or would you like to do a little web design?
Not sure how to help? The PTA will work with the school and the volunteers to match you up with tasks.
There are three easy ways to support PS20 and the PTA:
- Shop for PS20 gear – show your school spirit and support the PTA with a t-shirt or sweatshirt! Shop here
- Give online – make a contribution to help fund programs and activities for our students. Donate here
- Donate by check – make a check payable to “PS20M PTA Inc” and drop it off at the Main Office.
And, don’t forget to maximize the impact of your monetary donations with a Corporate Match! You could double your donation and help your employer do some good at the same time.
Check to see if your employer participates in corporate matching programs.
You can also donate money directly to individual classrooms and programs through DonorsChoose.org. It’s fast, easy, and the money will go to the specific need being asked for by teachers and staff.
Companies will often do daily donation matching. Follow us on Twitter for matching announcements.
