We get our funding in several major ways:
Fox Trot
The Fox Trot is our major annual fundraiser, held at the end of September. This is our only cash fundraiser and provides most of our funding for the year. Students run laps at Stephen Day park as part of a day focused on health and fitness, showing off their pride in themselves and their school. Fall River PTO asks parents, relatives, and others in our community to share in that pride and help us fund the programs that make Fall River great.
Community Nights
Many restaurants in our community have offered to dedicate a night to our school, donating a portion of their proceeds to Fall River. The restaurants vary from year to year, so watch our calendar for upcoming events.
Free Money
We participate in several “Free Money” programs, where businesses will donate to our school when you make the purchases you were going to make anyway. King Soopers will send us a small percentage of any money you spend on groceries using your King Soopers loyalty card if you link it to Fall River PTO. The Box Tops for Education program offers 10¢ for each coupon we submit (if every student brings just 20 coupons, that’s $1,000 for our school). Milk Caps for Moolah Longmont Dairy Farm pays 5¢ for every milk cap you bring back to Fall River. If you’re a Longmont Dairy customer, bring in your clean milk caps any time.
