SIX DAYS LEFT, TROJAN CREW!
Six days, six days, oh what a race!
To help every student in our beautiful place.
Classroom prizes, races in suits,
Silly fun and joyful hoots!
Every dollar stays here, hooray!
No selling, no buying, just helping the day.
And ten percent goes back to another,
Helping our neighbors — sisters and brothers!
It’s not the prizes that matter the most,
It’s giving back — that’s what we boast!
Books for Christmas, snacks for the school,
Grants for teachers, safe nights — so cool!
High school tests? Snacks galore!
Elementary kiddos? Boosts in store!
Don’t like the app? Don’t you fret!
Find a student, a teacher — your gift is set.
No one around? Mail it in!
We’ll even drive to you with a big wide grin!

🎉 Only 9 Days Left to Reach Our BIG Goal! 🎉
Our amazing PTO has already made a huge difference — last year we used funds to bring awesome new playground upgrades to life! This year, we’re dreaming even bigger, and we need your help to make it happen! 💪💛
Your donations will help us provide books for every elementary student at Christmas, snacks for classrooms and testing days (even at the high school!), Missoula Children’s Theatre, senior scholarships, support After Prom, and so much more! 🌟 Every single student in our district benefits from PTO’s efforts — from preschool to senior year!
We’re planning some fun family events like Glow Bingo Night and a Paint Night, but none of this can happen without our incredible community. 💫
👉 We’re asking each family to help raise about $250 — no selling, no unwanted items — every penny goes straight to supporting our students!
If online donations aren’t your thing, you can always collect funds to drop off directly at school.
❤️ No donation is too small! Every dollar adds up to make a difference for the kids we all know and love. Let’s show our students how strong our community can be!
If you haven’t signed in yet or need help, please contact Colleen.Mette@k12.sd.us —
we’ll make sure you’re ready to go!
Let’s finish strong, Parkston! Together we can make this year the best one yet! 🎈
Hey everyone! Don't forget PTO has a fundraising going Pre-K through 12th Grade. We are asking each family to try to raise $250 to help us be able to continue to do all the things that we do throughout the year like Missoula Play, After Prom, Scholarships, Books, Glow Dances, and more! Remember, if as a school we raise $20,000 there will be a Silly Suit Race where teachers will battle it out to see which classes gets a prize!
This fundraiser ENDS in 10 days! We need all of your help!

🌧️ Rainy nights are perfect for fundraising! ☔
Addison and Kinely Weber are currently in the lead!!! 🎉
We’re only on day four, and there’s still a long way to go to reach our goal — so let’s keep those totals coming in! 💪

Dear Parents/Guardians,
As you should already know, there is a PTO fundraiser currently taking place for grades preschool-12th. The information about what the fundraiser is for, how long it is running, and how your students are to raise funds was already provided to you last week and is available on the school app. We didn’t want to overwhelm anyone with all of the information at one time, so we saved the information the students have been waiting for the most, for last!
In the past, our students have always been rewarded for helping the PTO with their fundraising efforts by competing for a chance for their class to slime or pie a teacher in the face and take the award for top selling class. Classes were also rewarded with prizes such as extra recess, movie parties, pizza parties, and other fun activities. We’ve even rewarded the top selling students with cash prizes or chances to pie the principal. This year, we plan to continue the fun!
Rather than working against each other, we have decided to embrace the mindset that we are ONE TROJAN FAMILY. When we as an entire student body hit our fundraising goal of $20,000, the students will be rewarded with a “Silly Suit Race”. Here’s how it will work:
Each class will choose one staff member to represent their class in the “Silly Suit Race”. The order in which they get to choose their staff member will be determined by random draw.
Each class will also choose the costume in which they would like their staff member to wear during the race. The sillier the costume, the better!! The class from elementary and MS/HS with the best dressed staff member will receive a prize!
On the designated race day (TBD), all of our students will assemble for the “Silly Suit Race.” Staff members representing each class will race against each other in a silly obstacle course with the hopes to finish with the fastest time. Staff representing the elementary classes will face off against each other, while staff representing the MS/HS will face off against each other.
The staff with the top three fastest times for elementary will earn their class a prize, such as an extra recess, a movie party, etc., while the staff with the top two fastest times for MS/HS will earn their class a recess (MS)/open campus (HS) and cookies.
We will also award the Top Selling Family with the honor to choose what organization they would like to donate 10% of our funds to. In this instance, if you have multiple students in our school, they are now working TOGETHER, rather than against each other.
We hope that everyone can come together to not only help support all of the amazing things PTO does for our students, but to also enjoy an afternoon of silly fun and bonding. Thank you again for helping your students participate in this fundraiser. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Parkston School District PTO

PTO Fundraiser Update! 💙
We’re only on day 2, but the Kummer family is already kicking things into gear!
Remember — our top-selling family will get to donate 10% of our overall funds to a local organization of their choice! What an awesome way to give back while supporting our school!
If you haven’t signed up yet, there’s still time — families and even individual students can participate!
Every dollar raised through PTO directly supports all students — from funding Missoula Children’s Theatre, books at Christmas, and after prom, to playground improvements, scholarships, and teacher grants.
There isn’t a single student who doesn’t benefit from PTO support — so let’s keep these great programs going strong!
💙 Prefer not to donate online? No problem! You can drop donations off in the elementary office or mail them to:
