It All Starts with the Parents
What Sumac L-STEM program does your child love most? Is it the amazing STEAM program? How about having access to a library filled with books that challenge their imaginations? Each year, Sumac's Parent-Faculty Association (PFA) must raise money to pay for the amazing programs that make up our special L·STEM program.

​Sumac’s PFA would love to continue offering these and other resources to our kids, but we cannot do it without your support. We rely on YOUR financial generosity and commitment to ensure a quality and dynamic education for our children. Every dollar raised from the Direct Donation drive goes directly to funding the Sumac PFA.  
​Your tax-deductible donation — no matter the amount — makes a huge difference. 

Three Easy Ways to Donate and Support Sumac's Unique Programs

Why does PFA fundraise?
Neither property tax dollars nor school district funds provide for such great programs. Our tax dollars provide for just the basics: the school buildings, teachers, desks, and instructional books. Through the support of parents, it is our PFA that pays for the additional teachers, staff, equipment and more, to cover the school's standout programs and resources. 
​Here is just some of what parents help fund through Sumac’s PFA:
SALARIES
Art-Science
Phys Ed
Library
Music​​
 TECHNOLOGY
Media Center (Library)
Smart Boards
iPads
Instructional materials & software​​
OTHER
Assemblies
​Library Books
Staff Appreciation
School Beautifications
Janitorial Supplies​​
