Greeting Card Fundraiser
Send a smile to your favorite Evergreen students to celebrate another successful school year!
This year we are offering to customize and print a range of greeting cards for Moving Up and Graduation Ceremonies for a suggested donation of $3-5/card to help support the Evergreen Annual Fund. All profits from this fundraiser will go toward the Evergreen Annual Fund's goal of $100,000. The Evergreen Annual Fund goes toward faculty and staff salaries as well as supporting our beautiful campus.
Evergreen Annual Fund
Thank you to everyone who has given to Tourney of the Hoops and the Evergreen Fund. Your support of our school and public education makes a real impact.
Did you know: 80% of Evergreen's annual budget is used for teacher and staff salaries? Meaning your dollars go to what matters most: having invested, qualified professionals in classrooms.
If you haven't given yet, there is still time! Your donation is so important, now more than ever!
A small monthly gift of $5 per month, or a quarterly or one time donation can have a big difference on our school's budget at a time when we are facing massive budget cuts.
We appreciate you being part of our Evergreen community.

Tape Dispenser Refills - Copier Room & 5th Grade

Dry Erase Markers - 1st & 4th Grade
Presharpened Pencils - 6th Grade
