Capital Expenditure for 2017-18 Our ongoing mission is to not only meet our annual budgetary requirements but also raise extra funding for Capital Expenditure. Our goal for end of the 2017-18 school year is to be able to fund the replacement of the 20+ year old water fountains throughout the school with new water fountain/water bottle filling stations: The estimated cost for this project is approx. $6000 We have reduced PTO expenses over the last two years by approx. $2,500 (without compromising any of the scheduled activities) and boosted fundraising in order to grow a Capital Fund that will allow us to meet our goal. Some of our historic capital purchases have been playground equipment, gymnasium bleachers, auditorium curtains, A/C units in classrooms, foyer mosaic, film making equipment. Details of all fundraisers, ongoing PTO activities and contact information can be found on our PTO Website: eastamwellpto.weebly.com Thank you for supporting the East Amwell Township School PTO!
