Help us reach our goal of $15,000! If you sign up your student here you can start raising money for the Bateman PE program by asking for pledges from friends and family!  We recommend that you send it out to at least 10 people if you can.   If we reach our whole-school goal of $15,000 the students will get an extra recess, have a pajama day, have an outdoor lunch, the admin will dye their hair purple, and everyone gets to celebrate with a movie hour!

This year, we will be using an online platform to keep track of our fundraising efforts! Please register now to help our school raise as much as we can for new PE equipment, new volleyball standards, gymnasium wall padding, and supporting the Volleyball, Soccer, and Basketball teams!
