Parent Teacher Community Organization

Our school community came together and raised over $28,000 for Homestead – more than $3,000 over our goal!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! 

Your generous support makes Homestead Elementary the exceptional school that it is. We couldn’t do it without you!Let the celebrations begin!  For surpassing our goal, the entire school earns a PAJAMA DAY on Friday, March 13th.  YES! For grade level winners, please see the email that was sent out on 2/24.

Want to pull into the school parking lot next year and have a special spot reserved just for you!? The top 3 donors for the 100% Homestead fundraiser will win a parking spot in the front lot for the WHOLE SCHOOL YEAR!   Currently the top donations range from $400 – $1000. Click here to DONATE!

We only have two days left in this campaign.  So far we have raised $16,000 of our $25,000 goal – so we still have a ways to go!   We are asking that every family donate $100 to reach our goal.  Thank you!

Don’t let the cold weather slow you down!

Our 5th Annual 100% Homestead fundraising campaign is underway!  The campaign will run for two weeks through Friday, February 21st.  With this fundraiser, you don’t have to buy or sell anything to your friends/family OR bid on items you don’t need!  Even better? 100% of your donation goes directly to the Homestead PTCO to fund programs that benefit every student at Homestead.

Every Family Counts – Every Dollar Counts.  Your participation in 100% Homestead is critical in order to continue to provide the best possible experience for our students. Our school-wide goal is $25,000.  Based on our historical donations and the distribution of those funds, we are suggesting a donation of $100 per student; but we will be so appreciative of any amount you are able to give!  Donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law and can be made by check payable to Homestead PTCO OR online click here.

Interested in becoming more involved at Homestead next school year? We are looking for volunteers and would love to hear from you! If you are interested in any of the following volunteer positions, please email Elizabeth at volcoorhomesteadptco@gmail.com as soon as possible to discuss the opportunities in greater detail.

 1. Library Coordinator: Work with our librarian to create SignUp Geniuses to recruit and organize volunteers to help in our library. This will be a great opportunity to learn first hand about all of the exciting new things happening in our new innovation space. Work is flexible and done on your own time.

 2. Music Coordinator: Work with our music teacher to recruit additional volunteers as needed to support activities in the music room (this does not include the 2nd Grade Musical which has its own volunteers slated). No musical knowledge required but folks with kiddos in choir often enjoy having this role.

 3. Teacher of the Year: Every year Homestead honors one of its amazing teachers at an assembly in the spring. Help collect letters nominating teachers and letting them know how they have gone above and beyond for their students, and then help present the award at the assembly. This job is a great one because it is focused entirely on honoring our amazing teachers!
