Fundraising
The PTA offers many different ways throughout the year for you to contribute to its important mission. First and foremost is membership, so if you haven't joined, join today! We also host various fundraisers throughout the year including our Fun Run, Spring Scholastic book fair, Seasonal Roots, and fundraisers at local restaurants such as Ledo’s Pizza, Chipotle, Chuck E. Cheese, etc.
Seasonal Roots: Now Until June 2025
Easy Ways to Support Arcola
BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION
Box Tops donates $0.10 per coupon to your school of choice. You may have noticed Box Tops has a new look. Traditional Box Tops clips are being phased out of production on product labels, and the program will become digital-only. To participate digitally, download the Box Tops app and scan any receipt after purchasing qualifying items. The app will find participating products purchased at any store and instantly add cash to Arcola’s earnings online.
For products that still have paper Box Tops coupons, you can continue to clip and submit them to the box in Arcola’s front office. For more information about the Box Tops program here: https://www.boxtops4education.com/s/how-to-earn. Every $0.10 makes a difference!
