Treasure Map to the Track

Deadline has been extended to March 24!! Please take advantage of the extra time to help us reach our goals.

Pirate PTO is thrilled to announce our big fundraiser for the Spring: Treasure Map to the Track!! All proceeds from this fundraiser will go directly towards the purchase of a new outdoor running track at Pomona Elementary School!

Every Pomona Elementary student will be sent home with an envelope and blank treasure map form to fill out. Friends and neighbors select squares on the map — donating the corresponding amount — then the square gets colored in.  The more squares colored in by the deadline (March 10), the better the prizes your student will earn!
Prize Levels
  • 1-10 squares colored in gets a cool drawstring bag ($55)
  • 1-20 squares colored in gets an invite to a magic show at school ($210)
  • 1-30 squares colored in gets to play on GameTruck at school!! ($465)
  • If we meet our school-wide goal of $50,000, PTO will sponsor a foam party for students during water day later this Spring. 

Blank forms like the one pictured at right are heading home. Keep an eye out and spread the word! Money/forms are due to your student’s homeroom teacher by March 24 (deadline extended).
