Dundee Direct

PTO or School Fundraisers

Dundee PTO Direct LogoFirst, a big thank you! Dundee Elementary thrives because of its amazing students, staff, and families!

Dundee Direct is our annual direct-giving fundraiser that runs through the month of September. Instead of asking our kids to sell popcorn or gift wrap, we ask our families, friends, and businesses to give what they are able to give. This direct-donation fundraiser makes it easy and effective to get money directly to where it is needed most.

The PTO uses the money raised to make sure our school stay amazing for all of our children. In the past, money raised funded the purchase of computers for the classrooms, furniture for the computer lab, books for the library, improvements to the school grounds, and student and family events. The money raised also went directly to grants for the teachers, who bought things like educational games, classroom supplies, and innovative new teaching material used daily by the students.

This year, funds are being raised for teacher grants for programs and supplies, classroom activities, improvements to the school, enrichment clubs, and family events, etc.

Every child and teacher at Dundee Elementary directly benefits from the money raised by Dundee Direct.

This fund is administered by the Omaha Public Schools Foundation. A donation can be made in two ways:
