What Is the Invest Campaign?
The Invest Campaign is the Glendale PTO's signature fundraiser of the year — when our entire school community comes together to fund the experiences, resources, and people that make Glendale exceptional.
Every dollar stays right here. Every gift — big or small — goes directly to our students and teachers.
Why Your Gift Matters
Your generosity is the reason Glendale is more than just a school. Here's what your investment makes possible:
🎓 Student Success A part-time reading specialist working with students who need extra support, a thriving recycling program, and beautiful school grounds that kids are proud of.
📚 Teachers & Classrooms Supplies and resources for every classroom and specials program — Art, PE, Music, and Library — plus updated technology and professional development so our educators stay energized and inspired.
🎉 Community & Events The memories our kids will talk about for years: Back to School Picnic, Movie Night, Family Dance, Trunk or Treat, STEAM Night, Grand Day, Art Show, Book Fair, and more.
🌱 Programs That Make Glendale Special Teacher appreciation events, monthly faculty lunches, inspiring school assemblies, and the Glendale Garden — where students dig in and connect with the natural world.
⚙️ Behind-the-Scenes Essentials Insurance, technology tools, and financial services that keep the PTO running smoothly so we can keep showing up for our school — year after year.
How Much Should I Give?
There's no required amount. $300 per student is our goal, but what matters most is that we all give what we can — whether that's $30, $300, or $3,000. When the whole community shows up together, we make Glendale stronger for every single child.
