Balloon Launch 2012
“If you want to change the world, be that change.” – Gandhi
Thanks to all the Families who contributed to our
7th Annual PTA Balloon Launch Direct Donation FUNdraiser!
Every little bit helps offset the costs of field trips, on-site learning opportunities, Family Fun events, supplemental learning materials (books, classroom supplies, etc.), playground improvements, & much more.
It takes a village!!!!
Congratulations to Mrs. Pacioni’s 4th Grade Class for having the highest percentage of students/families contributing to the Balloon Launch! They will receive a classroom pizza party.
How does this raise money for our school?
Our goal was to raise one $40.00 donation per family. Our hope was that each family would participate at some level. Understanding that every family’s circumstance is different, please make a contribution that is best for your family.
How does the Balloon Launch work?
Each child launched a Halloween orange balloon with a biodegradable card (with his/her first name and classroom) requesting that the finder return the card to Browning Elementary. On October 31st, the entire school released the balloons together. It was a spectacular display! As the balloon cards are returned to school, they will be tracked for distance, mapped in the school hallway, broadcast on the morning announcements, and returned to your child.
Benefits of the Balloon Launch:
- Proceeds go directly to students for field trips, on-site learning opportunities, Family Fun events, supplemental learning materials (books, classroom supplies, etc.), playground improvements, & much more.
- Every child was included. ALL children present launched a balloon!
- Students look forward to cards that are returned, even if the cards are not their own.
- It does not matter if you have one child or five, your donation counts for all of them.
As always, we greatly appreciate your support!
Without it, the supplemental learning
opportunities & experiences
our children deserve would not be possible!
