Thank you to our Community Sponsors!
The businesses listed below have generously made monetary and/or in-kind donations to help support the Malcolm White PTO. Interested in becoming a sponsor? Please e-mail us!
The Malcolm White School PTO is reaching out to local businesses as a request to obtain support for the students and staff at the Malcolm White Elementary School, in Woburn, MA. The PTO is proud to sponsor all school related field trips and in-school enrichment activities at zero cost to the students.
With that being said, we understand that businesses receive many donation requests throughout the year. We are graciously asking that you please consider including the PTO, which gives us the ability to support the educational, enrichment, and supply needs of the students, teachers, and staff.
This change in approach to fundraising, reflects our beliefs that as a PTO at a school where almost half of the student population’s households are facing socioeconomic disadvantages, creating a fundraising program that allows all students at the school to participate regardless of socioeconomic status and/or disability, is essential.
In-line with this change to our fundraising efforts, we have recognized the need to highlight the community support received by businesses each year. In order to better track this greatly valued support we have created a formal recognition program, outlined on the following pages.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any further questions and thank you!
