Fundraising
Generous donations help Mendoza Elementary PTO purchase classroom supplies, fund campus beautification projects, and host after-school events. It's all possible thanks to the generosity of parents, community members, and businesses.
You'll see flyers and announcements throughout the year about different fundraisers. Each fundraiser is optional, providing different ways to support your child's education in a way that works best for your family. So how can you help?
