The PTO No-Sell Fundraiser asks families for a simple donation instead of asking students to sell various items. The PTO reimburses teachers for snacks and various materials including books and supplies that they purchased for their classes. In addition, they support Science Fair, Band sectionals, and other educational grant requests. To encourage students to remind their families about the fundraiser, students whose families donate before November 7 will get a donut before school on the 7th. This includes families that have already donated this school year. Donate online or send a check to school.
The PTO money is most valuable for me in that it allows me to make purchases at the very beginning of the year when I’m waiting on purchase orders. I usually use the money to purchase a folder for each of my students, and I have bought storage boxes to hold those folders, organized by table group or class period. 
Another invaluable resource that I have purchased with PTO funds is supplies to put together my teacher notebooks, which I use to organize my lesson plans and materials. I bought a heavy-duty binder for each class that I teach, heavy-duty sheet protectors, and numbered tabs to organize my lesson plans, resources, and originals by week of the semester. 
Finally, sometimes I buy treats (candy, hot chocolate, popcorn) for my students for activities in class, such as our Mug Party, where students are served hot chocolate in ceramics mugs that they made themselves. I often spend my own money on this, as food cannot be purchased with the moneys that we get from the state.
