We hit $10,000!
Thank you for your generous donations!
The support you are showing to help our students, families, teachers and school is AMAZING! All of the money donated goes to support the many activities, programs, classroom support and educational opportunities that the PTSA is able to help fund.
We are a small school but you're helping to make a HUGE impact today by giving. You can still donate to our Fall Fundraiser until Midnight!
If you check the leader boards here on givemn.org Folwell is #12 in raising money among small organizations and #4 overall in Southeastern MN!!
The PTSA raises funds to support many opportunities for students and families at Folwell Elementary! We raise roughly $25,000 per year to enhance and enrich learning opportunities for all Folwell families. While the PTSA will work hard to offer many memorable fundraising events over the year, in lieu of a traditional door-to-door sales, we are asking our Folwell community to donate during the MN Give to the Max day as our Fall Fundraiser to help us raise enough funds to cover our budget.
Our Fall Fundraising Goal this year is $12,000!

We have doubled last years goal because in addition to offering these programs and opportunities, we are also in need of new playground equipment at Folwell. One of the older play structures on the playground is unfortunately too old to repair and will need to be removed. The PTSA is starting to raise funds now in anticipation of replacing the structure for our students. Depending on how quickly we can raise the funds, the equipment can be replaced as soon as the summer of 2019.
THANK YOU so much for your 100% Tax Deductible Donation!
