All Bennett PTO fundraiser programs support our budgetary obligations
for each school year.
Occasionally, a fundraiser will be
earmarked for a particular goal.
Additional funds can be carried over to the next year when the
membership votes to purchase large ticket items.
We hope the following line item descriptions will help you better
understand Bennett PTO’s yearly obligations.
