Fundraising Activities
Contact: Open
Your PTA provides many enrichment activities for your children that cannot be provided by the district due to budget cutbacks. We provide funding for fieldtrips, literacy materials, classroom materials, computer software, and assemblies. We also sponsor many fun family events such as Science Night and the Ice Cream Social. Contact the committee chairperson to join the team in organizing these activities.
Fundraising activities finance our $24,000 annual budget for these events. Click the apple to see how we're doing toward reaching our annual goal. We have several options for parents to support our efforts in raising these funds:
A direct donation is the most cost-effective method for supporting our work; 100% of your donation goes to PTA programs. This is a tax-deductible donation! Make your checks payable to Gill PTA.
If you'd like to make a donation online through Google Checkout, just go to our Donations page.
This fundraiser is unlike any other we’ve done to date at Gill Elementary. Instead of asking our kids to sell the “stuff” that every other kid on the block has been selling for years, we’re asking them to sell miles. That’s right. Miles. Our kids are going to get moving — running, walking, or wheeling* — toward a goal of completing 26.2 miles each, and they’ll be asking their friends and family to support their cause by pledging money for every mile they promise to complete. The best part? While working hard to support their education, our kids will be having fun and getting fit at the same time!
And don't forget to check out the Mini-Marathon website!

Market Day
Market Day offers high quality food products delivered to the school on a monthly basis. Orders can be completed online or using the flyer. A portion of the proceeds go directly to Gill PTA. Market Day typically generates $3000 for Gill every year. To find out more about Market Day or to complete your order today, visit the Market Day web site.
Meijer Community Reward Program
The PTA can earn money every time you shop at Meijer if you apply for a Meijer card. This is not a credit card. It is a card that they will scan (like a Kroger or Farmer Jack card) and we’ll receive a percentage of your total dollars spent. Go the Target website. Click on "community" at the bottom of the screen, click on “take charge of education” under education initiatives. Gill’s school ID is 61573. We’ve received $4910.55 from Target since this program began several years ago.
