Jing Mei Annual Giving

3. Jing Mei Annual Giving (JAG)
JAG, is the PTSA’s primary annual fundraiser.
Our goal this year is $60,000.
Asking for a donation of $300 per student
Donations larger or smaller are always appreciated

4. Why do we fundraise? Limited public school funds
PTSAs across the Bellevue school district raise funds to cover the gap in funding.
Parents prioritized Instructional Assistants(IAs) and Curriculum Enhancements for PTSA spending.
If we as parents don’t invest in our children, no one else will.

6. BMDL PTSA organizes, manages and/or pays for the following:
2 Instructional Assistants
Field trips & Assemblies
Classroom experiences
Author visits
Science Fair and STEM night
Mid-Autumn Festival & Chinese New Year
Afterschool Enrichment Classes
Field Day, Book Fairs, Picture Day & Yearbook
And many, many more programs, resources and activities that directly benefit your child.
