Our BIGGEST Fundraiser of the YEAR is here!

 

 

 

 

 

KINDNESS IS COMING TO THE HIVE IN A BIG WAY!!

 

Raise Craze is happening soon Buffalo Families - our biggest fundraiser of the year, and we can't wait to show everyone how our students at Buffalo spread kindness around!

 

During this unique fundraiser, students pay it forward by completing Acts of Kindness for others. While not every child can raise money, every child CAN spread kindness.

No Pressure. No Selling. Just Kindness.

 

We picked this fundraiser because we believe giving back to the community helps shape the character of our students, gets everyone involved and teaches the value of gratitude.

 

Curious how fundraising through kindness works? Check out this brief video.

 

In just three easy steps, your student will be all set for Raise Craze:

  • Visit https://raisecraze.com/join CODE: 227-503 to set up your account.
  • Select at least three Acts of Kindness on your page as the ways you will give back this Raise Craze season. Students can choose from the list or enter their own!
  • Add emails (optional). As an option, Raise Craze allows your family and friends to double your child’s impact by “paying it forward” through inspired giving. Add email addresses for friends and family who would be supportive of your kindness efforts! Don’t worry if you don’t have all the email addresses right away, you can always go back and add more later OR skip this step by leaving the fields empty and click on “Send Emails.” Emails will never be shared with third parties or used for marketing.

 

Our goal is to have 100% participation in completing Acts of Kindness, complete at least 1800 Acts of Kindness, ( that's 3 Acts of Kindness per student) and raise $13,000 to pay it forward.

 

No Act of Kindness is too small!

 

We’ll keep you posted on the school’s progress throughout the fundraiser, which ends September 30th. In addition to your students’ individual Acts of Kindness, they’ll be participating in class service projects. Check out leader board updates and more on our Facebook page.

 

Let’s go, Yellowjackets!!

Welcome Back, friends!

Hi friends,

 

Can you believe we’re already kicking off another school year? There’s just something about September—the excitement in the air, fresh notebooks and pencils, kids buzzing with energy (and maybe a little bit of nerves too). It always feels like a fresh start, and I’m so grateful we get to do this together.

 

I just wanted to personally welcome you to the PTO, new and returning members, thank you for giving us your time, money, and support. 

 

This month is packed full of fun things happening at Buffalo, and the PTO can’t wait to jump in:

 

September at a Glance

  • Sept 1 – Labor Day, no school!

  • Sept 8 – Our very first PTO Meeting of the year 💛 Come join us—no pressure, just a chance to hear what’s going on and meet some new faces.

  • Sept 11 – Raise Craze Kickoff 🐝 Our biggest fundraiser of the year!

  • Sept 22–26 – Book Fair + Membership Drive 📚 This is always a favorite week!

  • Sept 24 & 25 – Open Houses (K–2 on the 24th, 3–5 on the 25th). Stop by the PTO table and say hi—we’ll be there with big smiles and all the info you need.

  • Sept 30 – Membership Drive Ends + Raise Craze Wrap-Up- and CLEARANCES need to be turned in. 

 

Here’s the thing: being part of the PTO isn’t about having loads of free time or signing up for everything. It’s about being part of this joyful little hive we’re building together—supporting our kids, cheering on our teachers, and making school feel a little more magical. 

 

So here’s to September. A month of fresh beginnings, new connections, and all the happy chaos that comes with the back-to-school season. I can’t wait to see what we create together this year.

 

We have a lot of FUN and JOY planned for this year, and cant wait for it all! 

 

With so much joy,
Nicole 💛
PTO President
