⛰️ One ask. No seeds, no auction baskets, no photo sessions.
You told us you'd rather make one meaningful gift than navigate a year of fundraisers — so this year, that's exactly what we're doing. Climb for Our Kids replaces our traditional fundraising events with a single, transparent ask (without any actual climbing!) that funds everything the PTO does for Peshastin-Dryden and Alpine Lakes Elementary.
What $50 does
Our entire PTO budget works out to about $50 per student. That one number covers a whole year of:
Family nights: Art Night, Science Night, and Story Night, with dinner on us, always free, so every family can come
Celebrations: Día de los Niños and the end-of-year celebration
Teacher support: Dinner during conference weeks when teachers stay late for our families, plus an annual appreciation gift
Warm clothes: Coats, hats, and gloves so every kid can play outside with their friends at recess
Ski Club: Equipment and weekly after school sessions with instruction at Ski Hill for families who don't otherwise have access to winter sports.
The PD Alpine PTO is registered with the IRS as a 501(c)(3) organization – making your contributions eligible for a tax deduction. Contributions can by sent via check to:
Peshastin Dryden Alpine Lakes PTO

Donations supplement roughly $5,000 in grants we pursue each year, and 100% goes directly to programs for our students, families, and teachers. We'll report back at year's end on exactly what your support made possible.
