100% of donations stay at CeVMS
CeVMS PTA's Just for Jags Donation Drive is a fundraising effort which allows 100% of your donation to benefit our school and students! Rather than selling a product to receive a percentage of profits, the Direct Donation that you provide will save our students, parents and volunteers countless hours of solicitation, while providing a larger benefit to our school as a whole. These funds enable us to support school-wide needs such as software and technology upgrades, classroom workbooks, innovative learning materials, electives supplies, economically disadvantaged student supplies, classroom support for teachers and educational programs. The funds also support school programs such as the Reflections arts program, All A's, the 8th Grade Celebration, Teacher Appreciation, Scholarship programs and more! CeVMS uses all our donations to fully support needs for the school, and our funding level directly depends on the success of this campaign.
Please complete a Donation Form with all donations, make checks payable to CeVMS PTA, and write "Just for Jags" in the memo line. Checks may be returned to your student's advisory teacher in the purple envelope provided (or any envelope marked "PTA"). You will receive acknowledgement of your gift to use for income tax purposes at the end of the donation drive.
