2024-2025 Proposed Budget

Big Splash!

The Big Splash fundraiser replaces our previous "fee for service" fundraiser model (Apex). Our Oak Grove Elementary PTA-sponsored fundraiser only asks for your donation once this year. All donations will support PTA programs for the 2024-2025 school year and campus outdoor play upgrades!

​

You will see a few changes this year as a direct-give fundraiser model. We are excited to share that ALL donations will stay with our school community. There are fun, school-wide incentives for Oak Grove Elementary students and a fun Splash and Dash celebration planned for all students and staff at the end of each event.
