Dear Taft Families,
We are thrilled that you have chosen Taft High School! Did you know that the Taft Charter Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) works with all the students, teachers, clubs and teams to help support their needs and put on school events like Homecoming? So many of the great things here at Taft that our students use and enjoy are NOT PAID FOR BY LAUSD, but rather by the PTO through the generosity of our parents and community.
This is why we are asking for your help.
For the cost of just one Starbucks latte or fast food value meal a week, you could help your child’s school provide all the following opportunities and more:
-Social events like the homecoming parade and dance and the Halloween costume contest.
-Stipends for our academic departments (Math, Science, English, History) to purchase supplies and classroom materials such as toner not paid for by LAUSD.
-Stipends for our elective departments like drama, music and visual arts.
-Trophies for all of our athletic teams.
-Support for our student clubs, student newspaper, college office and library.
-Need-based scholarships for community service and school volunteers
-Teacher appreciation events and school tours.
Yes, public school is free, but all of the extras are not, so we need your help. WE ARE ASKING EVERY FAMILY TO PLEASE CONSIDER MAKING A DONATION!! We are suggesting a donation of $250 per family, but EVERY DOLLAR HELPS, so give whatever you can…
Your tax-deductible donations can be paid in full or monthly installments. Please make donation checks out to TAFT CHARTER PTO, and put donation on the memo line along with your child's name and grade, and return them in a sealed envelope to the main office or your child's English Teacher. You will be sent a receipt and donation letter. If you want to pay by cash or credit card,
please email Carrie Adelman at cadelman3681@gmail.com
