Addison Elementary School PTA

The Addison Annual Auction Fundraiser is Addison's biggest and most important fundraising event of the year! This event is our primary means to raise money to support our school’s mission to foster a community that enables every child to reach their full intellectual, social, emotional, and creative potential.

Where The Money Goes:

The Addison PTA funds an average of $150,000 per year on a wide range of meaningful outcomes for all of our students, including, but not limited to:

• ~$35,000 on ALL school supplies for every classroom and family
• ~$35,000 on a dedicated science curriculum in partnership with the Palo Alto Junior Museum
• ~$25,000 subsidizing student fieldtrips and buses
• ~$30,000 on teacher appreciation and programs fostering school spirit and student community

How You Can Contribute:

1. Do you have a business you'd like to advertise or an item/service/party you would like to donate? Please reach out to us! Addisonauction@gmail.com. Every contribution helps!
2. Attend the Addison Auction Fundraiser (we subsidize the event so that it is FREE to all families) and meet your fellow parents and community members.
3. Buy something fun! Families can buy tickets to special events scheduled throughout the school year - all sponsored and organized by other parents and Addison teachers and administration. All the events previewed on this website are generously donated by Addison families and community members —from the Sundays on Sundae to the Clam Bake to the Pool Party. Some events are for families, while others are just-for-kids or just-for-adults. Not only do you get to contribute to our students' success, you get to build lifelong connections and friendships - win-win!
4. Contribute to the Class Competition - the grade with the highest fundraised amount will get an awesome pizza and popsicle party!
