Our Fundraising Efforts 🐝

At PS 35, the money we raise is the only way our students can enjoy enrichment programs, special events, and the extras that make learning fun. Every dollar we raise makes our hive stronger and ensures our kids have the opportunities they deserve. 🍯

PTA SPONSORED PROGRAMMING: 

Class Trips, Fall Festival, Book Fairs, Holiday Fairs, Carnival, Special Events, Art & Music Residencies, Instrument Refurbishment, Legacy Projects, Student Newspaper, Pretzel Day, School Spirit Days, Family Mixers & Dine-Outs, Spring Basket Raffle, Staff Appreciation and more! 

Here are a few simple ways YOU can Help Our Hive Thrive: 

Monthly Dine-Ins at The RoadHouse

All year long, on the day of our monthly PTA meetings, The RoadHouse (1400 Clove Rd, across the street) will donate 15% of your food bill to our PTA. Celebrate a big accomplishment or skip cooking—just dine in and write “PS 35” on your check.

Clothing Drives
Clothing drives run throughout the year! Place bagged items by the Reading Garden fence by 9:30am on scheduled day of pick-up. Accepted: clothes, shoes, linens, belts, tablecloths, curtains, and hard toys. No books, DVDs, tapes, or large toys.

Holiday Fair White Elephant Table
Cleaning out your basement and attic? We’ll take your unused and like-new items to sell at our flea market-esque “White Elephant” table during the Holiday Fair in December! 

Spring Basket Raffle Donations

Our biggest fundraiser of the year is scheduled for May 15, 2026! Families, staff, and friends can support by donating supplies (baskets, toys, kitchen items, filler décor), helping us collect donations from local businesses, or pitching in with set-up on raffle day. We ask every family and staffer to contribute by making a cash donation to help us purchase larger prizes to raffle off. You can also order items directly from our wishlist, or by buying an ad in our event program. Every bit of support makes this event a success for our students as it is where the bulk of our programming funding is made. Email ps35pta@gmail.com for more info.
