Each year, the PTO holds several fundraising events. These events are all run by volunteers, teachers and students. Below are a few details on each event...
International Potluck: Each family brings a dish from around the world to share. Students and volunteers decorate the gym, setting up tables representing the various continents across the globe. Music students are on hand to provide music for all to enjoy. The International Potluck is held twice throughout the school year. Once in the fall and once in the winter.
Hot Dog Hoedown: It is just as it sounds! Hot dogs, baked beans, soda-pop, desserts, mmmm... Just a fun get together in early fall for families to catch up after the summer months and the mad rush of the beginning of the school year.
La Fancy Fair: This is a French style carnival held in the month of May. There are games, competitions, music, bounce houses and raffles. Fancy Fair is one of the biggest fundraisers for the school, not to mention it is a ton of fun!
Comfest: The Community Festival is a city wide festival that is held the last weekend in June each year. It celebrates community, art, music and family. Kenwood has a booth at this festival selling bottled water to raise money for the PTO. This is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year and it takes quite a few dedicated volunteers. The good news is, it is a lot of fun for everyone!
Skate Zone 71: Twice a year, the roller skating rink opens its doors exclusively to Kenwood families and staff. Cost is around $4.00 to skate with part of the proceeds going directly to Kenwood. See the Event Calendar for dates.
Kenwood Kash: Buy gift cards to various restaurants, retail outfits and online stores to raise money for Kenwood PTO. You can also register your various discount cards online with the Kenwood code and stores like Kroger, will donate a percentage of your purchases to Kenwood. For details, please see Cindy Martin.
