Bauder Boosters Fact Sheet
“Our mission is to improve and support all activities at Bauder Elementary through the support of parents, staff, and community members.”
Who are we?
Boosters are parents that have joined together to provide support for students, teachers, and staff. We accomplish this by volunteering our time and resources along with raising money for special projects.
How does Bauder Boosters raise money?
Boosters asks our Bauder families for a small membership fee every fall to start the year off. In addition, we hold one or two big fundraisers each year, as well as multiple smaller ones. In the 2024-2025 school year we held a Read-a-Thon, sold school t-shirts, sold birthday shout outs, and held monthly spirit nights at local restaurants and businesses. Bauder Boosters is proud to announce that we raised almost $25,000 in the 2024-2025 school year to support Bauder this year! We are hoping to do even better this year with our planned Pop4Kids fundraiser and a spring in house fundraiser in the works.
What were we able to accomplish with our fundraising efforts in 2024-2025? Boosters was able to support the school so much this year thanks to all the efforts and help from parents, teachers, and staff! We were able to fund $10,000 in teacher grants, individual teacher supplies, and the school-wide use of Flocabulary. We showed our staff how much we appreciated them for Staff Appreciation Week with a nacho bar and DIY flower arrangements. We also ended the year with breakfast and a coffee cart to celebrate our school staff. We funded all the agendas for our K-5 students in the 2024-2025 school year. This was our first year creating the yearbook and I think it turned out amazing and full of student memories! We also were able to provide two dinners to our families at Literacy Night and Science Night. We look forward to continuing to do these things again this year!
How can you be involved? There are several ways to be involved with Bauder Boosters! First, become an official Bauder Boosters supporter by sending in your membership fee and buying your student (or the whole family) t-shirts! Becoming a supporter offers your financial support to our mission. Next, fill out your volunteer application so you can volunteer with Boosters as well as in your child’s classroom. If you want to be more involved, please join our monthly meetings and see what we’re all about. Meetings are usually held the first Tuesday of every month.
