Stone Mountain Elementary PTO's goal to raise more than $130,000, not for extras, but for essentials.
While these funds don't pay teacher salaries, they do provide the resources that help teachers teach effectively and students thrive.
To reach our $130,000 annual fundraising goal, we need to raise an average of $350 for every student at Stone Mountain.
There are lots of ways to help us get there:
-
Join us at The Main Event on Friday, October 2, from 6:00–11:00 PM at the Wide Open Saloon, 5607 US-85, Sedalia, CO. (Just 15-20 min from Stone Mountain Elementary) Enjoy an open bar, BBQ buffet, DJ and dancing, plus our Live Auction beginning at 8:00 PM.
-
Bid in the Online Auction from anywhere through Sunday, October 4 at 9:00 PM
-
Buy Class Basket tickets before the winners are announced on Friday, October 9
However you participate, it all adds up. Every ticket, bid and donation helps close the gap between school funding and what it takes to give our students the classrooms, programs and resources they need to learn, grow and thrive.

For our youngest learners, PTO funds support something as simple—but essential—as copying and printing.
Young children learn by doing: coloring, cutting, building, tracing letters, and writing by hand. These hands-on experiences strengthen fine motor skills, reinforce classroom lessons, and lay the foundation for future learning in ways digital screens simply can't replace.
As students grow, their needs evolve. That's why each year our PTO provides additional funding to personalized, computer-based lessons in reading and math that adapts to each student's learning level.
By identifying skill gaps, offering appropriately challenging lessons, and tracking progress, the i-Ready instructional seats help students build confidence while staying on pace with grade-level standards. Together, these investments ensure our students have the tools they need to learn, grow, and succeed from kindergarten through fifth grade.
