The GWES PTA raises funds to bridge the gap between what our students need and what the school budget can provide. We receive most of our funds through generous contributions from GWES families and local businesses.
The cost to join the GWES PTA is $10.00. Please note that of that $10.00, a significant portion is sent to our state PTA (TNPTA) and National PTA organizations for operational and administrative costs, liability insurance for our PTA sponsored events, and state classification fees for our 501(c)(3) standing as a non-profit organization. For this reason we encourage all parents to not only join the GWES PTA, but to make an additional Family Donation.
Business partners are local businesses who have generously donated to the GWES PTA from their business account. In thanks of their support, the PTA offers several ways to help promote their business. If you or your business are interested in becoming a business partner with GWES PTA please contact us at [email protected].
Funds are raised throughout the year with special fundraising efforts including our large fall and spring fundraising events and smaller Spirit Night fundraisers. Please help support the PTA by participating in these events.
Each year the GWES PTA executive board creates a proposed budget for the school year which must be voted on and approved by general PTA members. All members are eligible and encouraged to vote. The budget for the current school year was voted on and approved during our September general PTA meeting. If you have any questions about our budget, please contact us at [email protected].
