Fundraisers and Annual Sponsored Events

These are a sampling of fundraisers and events we host in a typical school year.  If you would be interesting in volunteering or in coordinating an event in the future, please contact the coordinator listed below each event, or check out our volunteer sign-up.  Don't forget to follow us on Facebook for up-to-date information as well!
POINSETTIA FUNDRAISER
This is new for us this year!  Purchase a poinsettia to decorate your home, or to gift to a loved one.  More details can be found HERE.

SPIRITWEAR
Each year, the PTA sponsors two spirit wear sales. Information about items for sale are published on our social media pages, website, and through school communication in Friday Folders.  Items vary with each sale, and it's a wonderful way to show your Panther Pride!  A portion of the proceeds goes to our general PTA fund for teacher grants, events, and more!

FALL TAILGATE

Prior to the DeWitt High School Football Homecoming game, the PTA sponsors the DeWitt Community Tailgate. We set up under a big tent just outside the stadium.  It's a great place to watch the parade and enjoy visiting with other families!  Bring a chair or a blanket, and enjoy the festivities!  You can also feed your family while you're there!  Principals and teachers grill hot dogs, and you can get a meal deal with chips and soda for $3.00.  It's a great event, and it's always our pleasure to host and provide volunteers!

ORIGINAL WORKS
Your student will create a piece of artwork at school.  Then, this artwork comes home with them along with an order form so that you can purchase their artwork printed on a variety of items (mugs, coasters, bags, cards, etc.).  There is also an online option to purchase artwork.  All art will be delivered directly to your home!

CONFERENCE CUISINE
Every year, for the days of parent-teacher conferences, the PTA provides meals and snacks for our teachers.  It's our way of saying thank you to them for all that they do, including these longer days in order to spend time with us discussing our children's progress.  Whether you donate a dish, supply paper goods, or help with set-up/clean-up, your efforts are greatly appreciated by the teachers & staff.  PTA Building Representatives are responsible for coordinating menus as well as volunteers for these event.

MONSTER MASH
Join us for a fun Halloween costume party held at DeWitt Middle School.  There is dancing, places to take pictures of your children in costume, and dinner for purchase.  This is a popular request for family fun, and also helps us to supplement our elementary school snack pantries.  Your admission to the event is simply a box of individually wrapped, nut-free snacks in lieu of money.

DENIM & DIAMONDS AUCTION
This is our biggest fundraiser and a fun night out for parents! There are hundreds of goods, services, memorabilia, and curated baskets available for bidding during a silent auction.  We also offer several big ticket items for bid in a LIVE auction.  We also offer several opportunities to earn cash prizes, such as our Pick of the Auction raffle, and our Heads or Tails game! Your price of admission includes snacks, a DJ, and the opportunity to bid on everything available.   There is also a cash bar provided.

STAFF APPRECIATION WEEK
Each year our National PTA designates one of the first weeks in May as 'Teacher Appreciation Week'.  We like to take it a step further, and acknowledge all of the members of the our DeWitt school staff who are dedicated to the success of our children every day.  This week is in celebration of their hard work and caring hearts!   Each set of building representatives coordinates the particulars of this week, which often includes meals, special gifts, treats, and other surprises.
