  • Suntree is extremely fortunate to have such an active and devoted PTO comprised of parents and teachers who work hard to guide, teach, stimulate, and support our children. Each year, our PTO financially supports numerous activities and school-wide purchases which benefit our students and our school. We are seeking your assistance with a very exciting fundraiser event. Rather than knocking door-to-door selling products to raise money, we are choosing to strengthen our students' academic talents by hosting Suntree's Spell-a-Thon!

    For our Spell-A-Thon, students will be given grade appropriate words and challenged to spell them. Family and friends can sponsor our students by pledging funds for each word spelled correctly, OR by simply making a flat donation insupport of a student's participation in the Spell-a-Thon. As an extra challenge, each student can set a goal and ask for a double-pledge if that goal is met.

    Our goal is to raise money through this event to make a variety of purchases for our school. Fundraising targets include Familiy Involvement workshops and activities such as; K-3 Family Reading Workshop and School-wide Science Night. Funds will also go towards fulfilling grade level requests for educational support materials.

    Suntree's Spell-a-Thon is the ideal way way to raise money for our school while encouraging students to continue learning as they master spelling words. Our goal is to have 100% participation, so please join us in this educational and entertaining endeavor.

    Pledge sheets are due by Thursday, October 6, 2011. Spell-A-Thon tests will be scored and returned for pledge collection on that day. All pledges are due by October 14, 2011.

    In order to generate excitement for this challenge, prizes will be offered to those classrooms meeting the following goals:
    • The class with the highest percentage of participants AND the class with the highest funds raised will earn their respective teachers a $100 gift card to be used for classroom supplies/resources. These classes will also earn an ice cream party.
    • The 2nd ($50) and 3rd ($25) place fundraisers and participation percents will also win gift cards and ice cream parties.
