SHELTON'S PRIMARY EDUCATION CENTER

Support our School

"The question is not whether we can afford to invest in every child;
it is whether we can afford not to."
 
-- Marian Wright Edelman
FUNDRAISING
Like other non-profit organizations, Shelton's thrives on the volunteerism and financial generosity of Parents, Alumni, Staff, Alumni Parents, Grandparents and Friends to support our outstanding programs. Tuition does not provide all the funds necessary to run our school. Parents are expected to participate in each of our two major fundraisers -- one held in the Fall, the other held in the Spring.
 
Shelton's fundraising efforts help subsidize operations, renovation of our building and play areas, supply equipment and computers, and provide enrichment programs. Fundraising events not only raise money; they also build community. Participating in our fundraisers and giving programs is a great way to connect with other members of the school community and contribute to the legacy of the school.
 
VOLUNTEERING
In addition to fundraising, parents are required to volunteer at our school at least 15 hours a school year. There are many ways to participate, including: participating in our Parent Teacher Association (PTA), helping in the classroom, assisting with fundraisers or school events, and by participating in school clean up days.
