Welcome to the
5th Grade Class of 2027!
We have a fun-filled year planned for our students, including special events like a Fun Day field trip, class T-shirts, a yearbook signing party, and promotion ceremony. To make all of this happen, we need your help! We have a wonderful group of parent volunteers leading key events, and we’re always looking for more support throughout the year. Even small contributions of time make a big difference.
Contact 5thgrade@spreckelspta.org to find out how you can help!
5th Grade Fund
We’re excited to kick off a memorable final year for the Spreckels Elementary Class of 2027! To make this year extra special, we are asking for a suggested donation of $127 per student — a fun nod to the Class of 2027 — to help cover the costs of:
-
Fun Day celebration
-
The 5th grade yearbook
-
A custom Class of 2027 T-shirt
-
Promotion Day ceremony
Every student will be able to participate in these activities, regardless of donation. However, your contributions go a long way in helping us meet our fundraising goals and ensuring every child has an unforgettable 5th grade experience.
We’ll also have additional fundraisers throughout the year, which we hope to keep minimal based on parent contributions.
If you’re in a position to give a little extra to help sponsor another student, your generosity is greatly appreciated.
Prefer to give a different amount? No problem — every donation counts.
How to donate:
-
Check payable to “Spreckels PTA” — write “5th Grade Fund” in the memo and drop it in the PTA box at the front office
-
Online in the Zeffy donation box on this page (Please note that if you tip, it goes to Zeffy, not Spreckels PTA)
Can’t contribute financially right now? No problem! We’d love your help at one of our upcoming fundraising events — your time and energy are just as valuable.
Thank you for making this year extra special for our amazing 5th graders!
