The Cass PTA is NOT bankrupt, or anything close to it. Our fundraiser came in lower this year than last, as did many non-profit organizations, so we had to take steps to assure that our programs could continue as planned. Our main fundraiser last year raised about $10,000, and this year raised $6,000. With the economy, and the disasters that have tapped out many charities, that was not all that surprising. We sent out a letter to our parents, asking for a $10 voluntary donation per child to the PTA, or the option of doing another fundraiser. Donations were chosen, and have already made up the shortfall. Our budget is now exactly where we projected it to be, and the Cass PTA will be giving over $20,000 in programs, activities, and needed items to Cass Elementary School, as we have done for many years now. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions about Cass, or the Cass/Marshall merger. I know that school mergers cause anxiety, as it definitely did for us, but I can assure you that our merger went really, really well, with many more positives than negatives! In fact, the concerns that I had never did come to pass, and the biggest bummer is that my daughter now takes a bus instead of walking three blocks to school (and she loves it!!!). Again, please feel free to contact me, or any Cass parent. We would be more than happy to help with the transition. Colleen Burton, Cass PTA President, cburton@twmi.rr.com |
