Help Us Finish Charger-Thon Strong!
CVES is grateful for the incredible support our PTA provides to our students, staff, and school community. Through Charger-Thon, the PTA raises funds that help make possible many of the experiences our students enjoy throughout the year, including field trips, assemblies, classroom supplies, student agendas, clubHOUSE shirts, Staff Appreciation Week, and more.
With less than a week remaining, approximately $19,000 has been raised toward the $25,000 goal, leaving us about $6,000 away from reaching the finish line. Every donation, no matter the size, helps our PTA continue supporting the programs and opportunities that enrich the educational experience for all students.
If you have not yet had an opportunity to participate, we encourage you to support our PTA's Charger-Thon fundraiser and help us close the gap. Together, we can ensure our students continue to benefit from the outstanding programs, resources, and experiences that make Churchville Elementary such a special place to learn and grow.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support of our school and PTA community! 🧡💙
Check out our awesome attendance for the month of Septemeber!! Way to go, Chargers!
