That's a great question, Penny, thank you. All the PTAs in District 65 can do their own fundraising and spend funds on their own schools. Money left over from that fundraising goes back into the Pep One Fund kitty in July, and then gets redistributed shortly thereafter to all the PTAs using an equity algorithm for the next school year. While the BRGS PTA did their best to come up with a budget for the 2023-24 school year, we still have a number of ad hoc discretionary expenses that we couldn't anticipate, like planning a protest march. Your donation helps the PTA cover those unexpected costs, and any remainder will be returned to Pep One Fund. It also turns out that Bessie Rhodes is one of the greatest beneficiaries of this redistribution project because we have the highest percentage (66%) of low-income students in the District, so even a Pep One Fund donation ultimately helps Bessie Rhodes a great deal.
