ALL FAMILIES GIVE.
ALL STUDENTS BENEFIT.
All families are asked to donate to two main drives:
Friends of Third Annual Giving and PTA Membership.
Third Street Elementary remains committed to bridging the achievement gap and supporting both our students and faculty with elevated programming, technology and teacher resources. All donations and support are appreciated so please make a choice that is meaningful for your family and financial situation.
If your family is in a position to provide more generous support for our community, we strongly encourage you to do so.
Together we make Third Street an amazing school for our students!
Regardless of any one family’s ability to donate, all students at our school benefit from these programs.
