U.S.S. Springetti Online has Docked for 2020!
Thank you for supporting Galatas PTO!

A NOTE FROM YOUR U.S.S. SPRINGETTI CAPTAINS:
Since changing course, from our in person Springetti event, to an online format due to COVID-19, we have been overwhelmed by the support our school community has shown the Galatas PTO. Springetti is our largest fundraiser of the year, bringing in about 50% of our gross operating budget annually, so we are counting on it being a success!

Galatas PTOs fundraising efforts provide continued funding for educational programs, technology, teacher materials and enrichment activities for all children at Galatas.  When you donate to Springetti through monetary gifts the PTO uses all the funds raised to provide extra educational programming and activities to the students and teachers at Galatas Elementary.  
Last year's fundraising money enhanced student learning in the following ways:

• Tutoring & Testing (staff/materials) $30,000
  • Approximately 175 students are served, allowing teachers to focus on classroom curriculum while students needing extra help receive small group focus.
• Educational Enrichment $33,000
  • Author Visits, In-House & Away Field Trips, Music Program, Reading Week, Science Camp & Day, Skate Week, and more!
• Instructional Materials $15,000
• Educational Software Licensing $10,000  
  • This includes many of the virtual learning tools that your child is currently accessing from home. 
• Technology Materials $20,000
  • Including iPads and Carts, all educational software used in the classrooms (Raz Kids, Imagine Learning, Renaissance Learning AR, Brain Pop, FASTT Math), classroom projectors, Chrome books, and more!

All month, we have been cruising along with small releases of auction items each Friday. Our final auction will launch THIS WEDNESDAY, May 20th at 8am and will run through FRIDAY, May 22nd at 8pm. It will include Class Basket donations, Grade Level Art as well as many donations from our community.  For the very first time, this online auction format allows us to include all family, friends and community members into our fundraising efforts. We welcome your participation and support. Please pass along the link to register to bid to anyone who would be interested in supporting Galatas Elementary School. Go to www.galataspto.com to register as a bidder. 

100% of your donation to Springetti is tax deductible. It is your generosity that makes every thing we do possible!  A HUGE thank you to our sponsors and community partners!  We certainly could not do this event without you!  Your involvement in our school is what makes our community the special place it is. 
Come sail away with us! Our journey will end Friday, May 22nd at 8pm! Good luck bidding and thank you for supporting our school!

​Sincerely Your Captains,
Nicole Neumann, Michelle Nolen, Bethany Straub
