iPhone Drive UPDATE:

Thanks to the assistance of Mr.Dapier and the Oakton PTA, the Oakton used phone drive was a huge success! We received over 18 donations!
Thanks to UBREAKIFIX – www.ubreakifix.com – on 1607 Chicago Ave. Evanston – who fixed broken screens and keyboards free of charge, 9 of the phones are in perfect working condition! The students are so excited to use them to dictate and to listen to audiobooks! Thank you so much to the Oakton PTA and all those who donated and helped to spread the word!

Direct appeal Fall fundraiser


Dear Oakton friends, families and staff

Our Fall fundraiser this year is straightforward: We’re asking you, Oakton’s friends and families, to consider making a donation to our general fund.

All money will go directly to the many programs we fund, programs that enrich the quality of your child’s educational experience at Oakton. For an idea of what the PTA pays for, take a look at our 2015-2016 budget:

Expenditures:

  • Authors Visit:  $1,500
  • Clubs:  $1,900
    (Chess, flag football and basketball teams)
  • Donations:  $600
    (Eyeglass fund, ESCCA)
  • Field trips:  $3,625
    (All-school field trip, in-school concerts and special assemblies)
  • Garden:  $600
  • Operating expenses:  $950
  • Class picnics:  $935
  • Principal’s discretionary fund:  $500
  • Enrichment program scholarships:  $700
  • Teacher Appreciation Week:  $700

Total: $12,010

We are aiming to raise all of this money through donations from our friends and families. If we exceed our goal, imagine what we can do! We have so many ideas for new enrichment programs and field trips as well as ways to improve our building.

We are asking those who are able to contribute $50 for each child you have at Oakton.

Of Course, we will happily accept any amount you are willing and able to give. Checks can be made payable to Oakton PTA and returned to school in the provided envelope. Or, use this PayPal button to make a donation.

Sincerely, the Oakton Parent Group

Nuestro objetivo es recaudar todo este dinero a través de donaciones de nuestros amigos y familias. Si superamos nuestra meta, imagínese  lo que podemos hacer! Tenemos tantas ideas para nuevos programas de enriquecimiento y excursiones, así como maneras de mejorar nuestro edificio. Estamos pidiendo a los que son capaces de contribuir con $ 50 por cada niño que tiene en Oakton.

Help us win by stopping by Valli Produce Evanston, located at 1910 Dempster St., from Wednesday, December 9th through Sunday, January 3rd, to purchase and make a donation in our school’s designated shopping cart at the front of the store. All donations will be given to The Harvest Food Pantry in Evanston, which feeds up to 225 families each week. The school with the most donations will be given $1000 for the department of their choice from Valli Produce Evanston.

On Sunday, December 20th, WLS-FM’s Marti Jones will broadcast live from Valli Produce Evanston from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. to drive awareness. That same day, Valli will host a cookbook signing with Celebrity Chef Fabio Viviani from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m.
