SUBJECT: UPDATE W/ CORRECT DATE! PTO Press-September 2025

A Message From Your Board

UPDATED: I HAD THE DATE INCORRECT FOR OUR INFLATE-A-PALOOZA EVENT!! 

SEE BELOW FOR CORRECT DATE!

Our Fall Fundraiser officially launches Wednesday, September 3rd, and runs through September 19th. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and makes it possible for us to support our students, staff, and community in countless ways. If every student raises just $60, we’ll reach our goal of $45,000! You can set up your child’s fundraising page starting now so they are ready to go!

As some of you may have heard, the city asked us not to use slime this year to protect the grass. So, we’ve pivoted once again into an exciting new theme: Inflate-A-Palooza! If we reach our goal, we’ll celebrate with a Fun Run featuring inflatable costumes, balloon hats, pool rings, and more—plus music, entertainment, food, and plenty of fun. Mark your calendars for Friday, September 26th! Food trucks and entertainment will start at 5pm. Segmented runs will begin at 5:45pm

Company Donor Matching?

💸 Double Your Impact this year with Donor Matching Programs!
Many companies offer donor matching programs where they’ll match charitable donations made by their employees—sometimes dollar for dollar! That means your contribution to STEM Lab could go twice as far at no extra cost to you. 💥 Check with your HR department to see if your company participates in donation matching and how you can submit your request before our fall fundraiser. Every little bit helps! 🙌

"We know the state's not going to have a lot of money to help us out for next year. So if we don't help ourselves here in Adams 12, next year will be another difficult year when it comes to cuts," Superintendent Chris Gdowski said.
