How & Why We Raise Funds
Many of our students’ and teachers’ achievements are made possible by our community’s ongoing support. Thank you — McGraw wouldn’t be the outstanding school it is without YOU!
Every year, we raise funds to support McGraw students, teachers, and staff: PTSO funding enhances teacher budgets, makes field trips and community events possible, and more. Without these funds, our children couldn’t enjoy enrichment assemblies and events like our spring dance, and teachers would have fewer resources to support learning. Help us raise more this year to expand support for our teachers and opportunities for our children.
Fundraising Made Easy
-
King Soopers / City Market
You can sign up to support the McGraw Elementary King Soopers Community Rewards account with your King Soopers or City Market loyalty card. A portion of each purchase will automatically go to the McGraw PTSO. This is the easiest passive way to help our school. Each quarter they donate a portion of the proceeds to us!
To sign up your family or friends, log into your King Soopers or City Market account and search for “McGraw Elementary PTSO” either by name or “UC528” and then click Enroll. New users will need to create an account, which requires some basic information, a valid email address and a loyalty card. Anyone can partcipate and every enrollment helps!
