Fundraising

Without successful fundraising we would not be able to support Northwest the way we do. We appreciate any and all participation because all our funds come from donations and fundraisers. Scroll down to see why we fundraise and what fundraisers we do during the school year at Northwest Elementary.

Why do we fundraise?

We fundraise for 2 main reasons:
  1. Provide financial assistance for teacher and staff requests in an effort to support classrooms and the school. 
  2. Put on events during the school year to help provide a fun, exciting and enjoyable atmosphere for the Northwest Elementary community.
Our fundraisers have provided for the following:
  • Chromebooks
  • iPad Minis
  • Playground & PE Equipment
  • Reading Curriculum Materials
  • Bounce Back to School Night
  • Author Visits
  • Family Fun Nights 
  • Teacher Appreciation Gifts
  • Student Maker Space
  • And so much more!!!

Our Yearly Fundraisers

Ninja Warrior (fall)

Picture
 This is the first, and favorite, fundraiser of the year. We have great success with student involvement and raising funds. So far we have raised enough to provide chromebooks for every 4th grader, iPad minis for K-3rd graders, curriculum books for the teachers, and a Maker Space for the students. This fundraiser is a pledge drive, but is 100% profit for NW PTO! 

 Butter Braids (winter)

The Butter Braid fundraiser is a great way to raise money while selling a great Iowa product. This frozen pastry dough is easy to make and great to eat. Usually on sale right before the Holidays so perfect for sharing with family

Flower Sales (spring)

We partner with Goode Greenhouses to sell just in time for Mother's Day. They have high quality plants and flowers that are delivered to Northwest for pick up and we receive a portion of the sales. You can visit them at their Des Moines location or check our their website for more information too!  www.goodegreenhouses.com

Restaurant Nights

Skip the cooking and eat out to support Northwest! Watch for dates throughout the year...

Picture
Wendy's donates 15% of proceeds from ALL orders from 5pm-8pm on the 4th Wednesday of each month.  Make sure to turn in your child's flyer for a chance to win a free kid's meal for next time and the class with the most participation gets frostys!

Picture
Each month we partner with Chick-fil-A to encourage families to come together for supper. A percentage of the proceeds come back to the PTO. So stop in the 2nd Tuesday of each month from 5-8pm to see familiar faces and raise money for our kids!

We can earn up to 20% of the sales both in store and catering orders. Don't forget to fill out a form because the class with most participation gets free wiches and one student will win a $25 gift card!

Box Tops Collections (all year)

Picture
  Each box top sent in earns our school $.10. Be sure to share with friends and family to collect and clip.  There is a collection bin located in the common hallway at school. They are sent in twice a school year, in November and March. Thanks for supporting Northwest PTO by collecting box tops!
