FOR PTOs & SCHOOL COMMUNITIES

One classroom.
One goal worth sharing.

Turn class pride into support for a reading corner, garden supplies or a creative project. Start with a small, limited release that fits your school’s calendar.

Schoolside brings

  • A focused collection of shirts and class keepsakes.
  • A dedicated classroom page and matching QR flyers.
  • A proposed ordering and pickup plan to agree before launch.

Your PTO helps choose

  • One teacher-supported need and a clear fundraising goal.
  • An approved release window and a school contact.
  • How to share the release and celebrate the outcome.

Bring three things to your PTO conversation.

  1. The need: what would make a useful difference for this class?
  2. The timing: where could a short release fit around existing school events?
  3. The contact: who can review the proposal and coordinate with the teacher?

We suggest a 10–14-day pilot with a shared class celebration or project showcase. Every student belongs, whether or not their family buys something.

Agree on the support before opening orders.

The PTO and Schoolside agree on the project, the amount or percentage directed to it, and when funds will be delivered. After the release, share what was funded and what the class made possible together.
