PTO Funding & Donations

The Skokie/Washburne PTO would like to thank all parents and families for their support. The Skokie/Washburne PTO operates as a non-profit organization under the by-laws of the Winnetka 36 Central PTO. In addition to generous donations made by our families, our PTO raises money through various fundraisers throughout the school year including the sales of Lions Spiritwear, and our ongoing Hot Lunch Program.

We kindly ask for a donation of $40 per student at the beginning of the school year for PTO Dues. Please donate HERE.

Collection for our Annual Holiday Gift Fund will begin at the end of October and run through Friday, December 13th.  With your generous support, of $50 per student, our Holiday Gift Fund allows the PTO to ensure ALL Skokie & Washburne teachers and staff are shown appreciation this holiday season, with a gift card and letter of gratitude that lists all families who contributed. Please donate HERE.

In May we will organize our Staff Appreciation Week.  Our Staff Appreciation Chairs & Committee plan a fun week for our teachers & staff at Skokie & Washburne Schools including breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and gift cards.  We ask for a $25 per student contribution to thank our teachers & staff for all they have done throughout the school year.

Thank you to all our parent volunteers for your hard work!  Please submit any & all reimbursement requests HERE.

As a result of our fundraisers and our families’ generous donations, the Skokie/Washburne PTO has been able to provide funding for the following staff and student requests for the 2023-24 school year:

• $4,500 to Washburne for half of the cost to update the AV equipment in the Little Theater.
