2023-2024 Budget Overview

What does all of that mean? Budgeted income is $78,750

Budgeted expenses are $149,150

This means we are proposing to spend $70,000 more than we bring in this year, according to our budget.

HOWEVER

This does not mean that we aren’t allowed to make more or spend less! The budget is our best guess of what’s to come during the next school year, based on past years income/expenses. The last few years have been kind of wacky, so we’re still figuring out how best to get us back on track for fundraising and still being able to support the school and community as best we can (and as much as we want to).

WE NEED YOUR HELP

  • If you have ideas for new fundraisers - let us know!
  • If you have ideas for turning some of our events into fundraising opportunities -

let us know!

  • If you have contacts or ways of saving us money on events or programs (either through monetary donations or goods and services donations) - let us know!
