INVEST TO KEEP GLENDALE STRONG!

Together, We Invest in Every Child.

Let’s keep moving forward—together! Glendale thrives because of families who care, teachers who inspire, and a community that believes in every child’s potential. Your gift fuels teacher resources, classroom enrichment, community events, and the special touches that make Glendale feel like home.

When we invest in our school, we invest in every child’s future. Let’s show up for our kids, for our teachers, and for each other!

What is the Invest Campaign?

The Glendale PTO’s biggest fundraiser of the year, Invest, runs September 12–October 3, but you can give now too! It’s when Glendale families and friends unite to support our students, teachers, and our school.

There are so many ways to take part:

• Give a one-time gift OR set up monthly donations online (click here)

• Make a gift through your donor advised contact (contact us for info)

• Give through a corporate match

• Invite grandparents, friends, and neighbors to give too (share this link!) 

For any giving information, please contact Hannah Mochizuki, Vice President of Fundraising at glendaleptofundraising@gmail.com.

Why Your Giving Matters

When you give to the Invest Campaign, you’re making a direct difference in every child’s school experience. Your generosity fuels:

• Support for School Needs – From a thriving recycling program and beautiful school grounds to extra help where it counts most—like this year’s part-time reading specialist boosting learning for all students.

• Educator & Classroom Support – Supplies and resources for every classroom and specials program (Art, PE, Music, Library), updated education technology, and teacher professional development to keep our educators inspired and equipped.

• Community & Special Events – The moments our kids will remember forever—Back to School Picnic, Movie Night, Family Dance, Trunk or Treat, STEAM Night, Grand Day, Art Show, Book Fair, and more.

• PTO-Sponsored Programs – Teacher appreciation events, monthly faculty lunches, inspiring school assemblies, and the Glendale Garden where students get their hands dirty learning about nature.

• Behind-the-Scenes Essentials – Insurance, technology tools, and financial services that keep our PTO running smoothly and our work sustainable year after year.

While $250 per student would help us hit our goal, there’s no set amount. When we all give what we can—whether that’s $25, $250, or $2,500—we make Glendale stronger, more connected, and an even better place for our kids to learn and grow.

Together, we can reach our goal and keep our school strong, connected, and a place where each of our students thrives. 

Let’s do this—¡Vamos Glendale!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
