Charlton Heights Programs and Committees from M-Z Every year the PTA runs over 40 programs that help support student learning and builds bridges between school, home and the community. Of course, these programs could not be offered without the generous support from parent volunteers, teachers and the community. Our four fundraiser programs help to finance these programs and some monies come to us through "passive fundraising". Passive fundraising allows you to conduct your usual shopping or clip labels while letting that local business do the donating to our School. Where does your money go? |
