School Fundraising

Thanks for seeking information about how you can support Griswold Public Schools!

Various groups and individuals at GPS take initiative to fundraise for classrooms, student programs and extracurricular offerings that fall outside of our school budget.

Please consider helping our schools, teachers, and students via the following fundraising opportunities: 

PTOs

Our Parent Teacher Organizations are always fundraising for specific school projects and events. They frequently host student and family-friendly events to raise funds, such as fun nights/dances, skate nights, bake sales, and more. You can also donate directly to the PTO to support school programs.

Follow our PTOs on Facebook for updates:

• GES PTO Webpage | Facebook Page
• GMS PTO Webpage | Facebook Page
  How to donate to the GMS PTO: Checks made payable to "GMS PTO" can be mailed to the Middle School at 211 Slater Avenue, Griswold, CT 06351, or sent in with a student to give to the school secretaries. Donations are 100% Tax-deductible. Please check with your employer to see if they will match your donation! You can also donate on Venmo: gpto2@griswoldpublicschools.org.

DonorsChoose

Griswold Public Schools is a district partner of DonorsChoose, a trusted crowdfunding site for schools. Teachers in our district can use DonorsChoose to fundraise for technology and materials for classroom projects that get shipped directly to the school. Search 'Griswold Public Schools' at donorschoose.org to see if teachers are currently seeking project donations. We appreciate any amount you can contribute!
