INVEST IN YOUR SCHOOL_edited.png

"Invest in Your School" is the Shamrock Gardens Elementary PTA’s year-round fundraising effort.

 

By joining in this campaign with your monetary donations OR your volunteer hours, you can help SGE continue to be a positive and engaging learning environment for our scholars. 

​

Along with fundraising efforts like The Shamrock Shuffle and small rewards programs like Amazon Smile and the Harris Teeter Together in Education Program, your participation in Invest in Your School supports the school's efforts to ensure that every scholar is known, loved and nurtured.​

 

No donation of time or money is too small. Every cent and every volunteered minute will enrich our scholars and staff.

While many public schools have faced major cuts to critical programs and services, SGE is in a position to keep fundamental and valuable programs that are part of our school's culture.

But only with your help.

  • $20  pays for one library-bound book for mindful media.
