How does the PTA help our school 

Our operating budget allows us to plan and sponsor community building and educational programs throughout the year for our students and families. Just to name a few - Head Start Day, Cultural Fair, Book Fair, Founder’s Day, Reflections Awards, Clowder Chowdown, Back to School Social and 8th Grade Graduation.

Fundraising Goal

The Borel PTA has a 2024-25 fundraising goal of approximately $250,000 to keep important programs and staffing in place. With Borel’s approximately 900 students, this fundraising goal comes out to be around $300 per student. We ask families who can donate to contribute $800 per student to make our overall goal achievable. With the funds we raise each year, the PTA uses part of the funds for the current year’s operating budget, and the net income funds the PTA Gifts-To-School Fund.
