The annual Giving Tree is the PTC's primary fundraiser and only direct appeal to South families. Did you know that the PTC spent an average of $225 per student last year? With costs rising everywhere, we are expecting this number to rise to roughly $275 per student this year.

Where do the funds go?

Great question! The PTC organizes a wide variety of events and enrichment programs to enhance your child's experience at South. Field trips, author visits, performing arts assemblies, teacher grants, classroom supplies, outdoor play structures, a beloved communal garden, staff appreciation gestures, and more! (For more details on what we were able to fund last year, check out our Year in Review.)

We have something extra special planned for this year!

South turns 75 this year, so in addition to raising funds for our traditional programming, we are hoping to also raise enough to turn our unused courtyard into a vibrant multi-use space for all to enjoy. We are excited to bring this vision to life and commemorate the 75th in such a meaningful way.

We have set our fundraising goal at $75,000 and 95% participation. We hope you'll consider donating - no contribution is too small!
