The COTTAGE GROVE SCHOOLS PTO

FUNDRAISING: Of course, we could not accomplish all that we do to support our schools without fundraising. We raise funds throughout the year in a variety of ways without the need for catalog or door-to-door sales. We need everyone's participation to meet our goals. Last year we raised over $30,000 with the following passive fundraisers:
