2009-2010 Membership Campaign and Annual Fund Drive

Each fall, Chabot families are asked to join the Chabot PTA and make a financial contribution to the Chabot PTA Annual Fund. Parent participation is a big part of what makes Chabot such a great school, and Annual Fund contributions from Chabot families help us pay for crucial enrichment activities that the Oakland Unified School District is not able to provide.

This year's campaign features a mock standardized exam that will test your PTA knowledge. Completed membership forms may be dropped off in the box outside the school office or mailed to the address on the form.

All classes with 100 percent participation in PTA membership will win an ice cream party!

• Annual PTA membership costs only $5 per person, and all adults in our school community are encouraged to join.
• Parent contributions to the Chabot PTA Annual Fund help pay for enrichment programs to supplement the OUSD curriculum, including art, music, technology, library, garden/science and kindergarten Spanish.
• Contributions to the Annual Fund are entirely voluntary, and all donations are welcome, no matter how big or how small. The suggested annual donation is $450 per child.
• Chabot: Way to Grow! is a separate fundraising campaign with the specific goal of raising money to pay for campus improvements related to the new construction project. This fund will pay for restoration of the school garden, computers and furniture for the new media lab, carpeting and furniture for the new library, play equipment for the upper playground, and general landscaping after the new buildings are finished.
