The Borlaug PTO annual fall fundraising campaign is much different from most fundraisers—instead of asking our students to sell wrapping paper, magazines or cookie dough where only a portion of the cost goes toward the cause, we give families an opportunity to make a tax-deductible gift to the Borlaug PTO where nearly 100 percent* of donations go directly to our programs.
Last year’s fall fundraising campaign raised nearly $9,500, which makes it the PTO’s largest single fundraiser of the year. Funds raised are utilized by Borlaug PTO to pay for programs, services and events, as well as future playground investments.

Please consider having your child join us as a performer or in the audience. It is always very entertaining and a nice way to support our talented Borlaug students!
Borlaug PTO hosts the first event of the new school year! Borlaug families come together after a fun summer to meet their new teacher, see old friends, make new ones and enjoy an ice cream treat provided by the PTO. Students also are welcome to bring their school supplies if they have not pre-ordered through our school supply ordering system.
Come help us celebrate reading by coming to the Scholastic Book Fair! We have two fairs during the year, one in the fall and one in the spring. There is always a large variety of books, ranging across all reading levels and ages. Along with adding books to your own reading collection, profits from the Book Fair go directly to the Borlaug Library! With that money our library is able to purchase more books for our students to enjoy. As an added bonus, the spring fair is a “Buy One, Get One Free”! It’s an awesome way to stock up on books before summer break at a great price, also while benefiting Borlaug’s library.
Also, keep an eye open for volunteer opportunities. Without parent volunteers to help at the Book Fair, it wouldn’t be possible for it to be so successful. Whether it’s setting up, helping at the registers, or packing it up, we are always looking for people who are willing to volunteer.
We hope that you can come check out the Book Fair with your family!
The Borlaug Science Fair is an annual event where students can create a display and show-off a science experiment, research, or activity completed at home! All participants receive a certificate and pizza is provided for all families. All grade levels are welcome. Click HERE for some inspiration!
PARENTS: We need your help with set up, clean up, certificates and food. Keep an eye out for more information regarding volunteer opportunities!
The carnival, held in April at the school, is the Borlaug PTO’s biggest event of the year. With games, prizes, bounce houses, food, bake walk, book walk and estimation jars, it's fun for the whole family! There are lots of ways to get involved with the carnival, both organizing in advance and day-of volunteer opportunities.
