Fundraising Season is upon us!



We’d like to welcome new parents to Klem South and say hello, again, to those returning this year.  We’re hopeful this year has gotten off to a sensational start – for your entire family.

The beginning of the year marks the start of fundraising season here at Klem South.  And while this is sometimes met with groans, we’d like to give you an idea of where we spend these hard-earned dollars. 

With budgets as tight as they have been in recent years, the PTSA has taken on a larger role in helping to educate our children beyond the traditional classroom setting.  Children, at each grade level, will enjoy at least one field trip completely funded by the PTSA.  We also provide numerous cultural arts opportunities throughout the year.  Past events have included paper-making classes, theatrical performances and visits from local authors.  We also purchase educational tools for math and literacy nights, provide assistance to our teachers with classroom supplies and host numerous events throughout the year to foster a greater sense of community within our school. 

We hope, as you look over the enclosed materials, that you see value in what we offer and are willing to support our efforts in some way.

This year’s fundraisers are

Save Around coupon books
For $20 you can enjoy a host of discounted prices at establishments all around our area and in more than 80 other cities nationwide.

50% of the money we bring in goes directly back to the school.  And you're just about guaranteed to get your money back with using just two coupons!



The Simple Gifts Project This is a new organization that we're excited to have partnered up with this year.  Unlike traditional fundraisers you aren't buying "needless stuff". Instead you're bettering the life of someone(s) in great need. Your donation is 100% charitable and tax-deductible!

This is an ONLINE-ONLY fundraiser, so please take a look here or by clicking the logo above. And please, pass it on to your family and friends. Each purchase helps out two very worthy causes.
