Why We Raise Funds

​

Rooftop's educational opportunities go far beyond what California's funding alone can support.  Rooftop PTA resources support:

​

• Instructors for garden and sensory-motor programs

• Grants for cultural festivals

• Outdoor Education Trips for 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders

• Art-education program, including stipends for Art Coordinators and the Artist in Residence

• Supplementary educational materials, yard and classroom furniture, and campus beautification]

• Mindfulness and social emotional learning programs

• Extra yard staff, school supplies, teacher stipends, and much more

​

Maintaining this level of quality takes support from our whole school community through a variety of events and fundraising opportunities throughout the year.
