The Falcon Fund Needs YOU!

Do you want to help provide our students with enrichment opportunities beyond their curriculum? Interested in supporting our teachers and staff with mini grants, discretionary funds, and appreciation for their hard work? We do too!

Here’s the thing: we can only make this possible with your financial support and participation in our fundraising events for the Franklin PTO Falcon Fund. Our annual target budget for the Falcon Fund for the 2024-2025 school year is ~$41,000. To achieve this, our fundraising efforts will involve:

  1. Asking families to donate to our Falcon Fund during our annual appeal. Our goal is to raise $15,000 in cash donations for our Falcon Fund by October 1, 2024, and the minimum suggested donation amount is $75/student.

  2. Offering opportunities to socialize as a community that in turn support our students at events like the Halloween Bash, Mystery Dinner, Auctions and Trivia Night. New this year: Fun Run and Skating for a Cause.

  3. Giving you the chance to skip cooking and eat out locally, while our school benefits with our Dining for Dollars events. Mark your calendars: our first Dining for Dollars event this year is with Yogurt Beach on Wednesday, September 25th.

  4. Providing opportunities to order Franklin spirit wear and car magnets to show your school pride.

On September 23rd, we will kick-start Falcon Fund Impact Week, where we will highlight some of the ways that your donations help support our school. Keep an eye out for these meaningful accounts of how your contributions make a difference at our school!

Ready to donate now? Here’s how:

  • Online

  • By Check: Please make checks payable to Franklin PTO. You can drop off your check in person in the Franklin PTO mailbox located at the school’s main office or mail your check to:

    Franklin PTO c/o Franklin School 125 Derby Street Newton, MA 02465

All donations to the Falcon Fund are tax-deductible as the Franklin PTO is a 501(c)3 organization, and many employers will match your contributions.

Thank you for supporting the Franklin PTO!
