Every year the PTA puts thousands of dollars to work to improve all students' experience at Paschal.
Our goal is to raise and spend $75,000 this school year! Your support helps us bridge the gap between available public funding and the high standards you are accustomed to at PHS.
Every dollar, every donation counts!

Can grandma/aunt/friend contribute in my student's name?
Of course! Just enter the student's name on the donation. If you'd like to pool donations to sponsor a larger PAW just put in the same Sponsor Name on each donation. You can always e-mail us to clear things up: WeArePaschal@gmail.com
-
Does it count if I already gave to a Booster?
We love Boosters and hope that you can contribute to both WAP and a Booster. The PTA (WAP) covers the classroom needs while Boosters cover extra activities like sports and band. Both are important for your child's school success!
-
Can I make monthly payments instead of all at once?
Yes! You can make monthly donations instead of all at once. However, there's no cutoff date. While we'd love for you to contribute indefinitely, you should mark your calendar for a cutoff date.
-
Can my business make a donation?
Of course! The PAWs are a great place to advertise your logo. We are also looking for a few in-kind donations if your business can help us out:
- Prizes for a the raffle drawing at the WAP Rally.
- Give aways like t-shirts, pens, spinners,... for the WAP Rally.
- Catering for WAPPY Hour
- Beverage donations for WAPPY Hour
- Venue for WAPPY Hour
-
Can I donate with a check?
Yes! If you'd prefer to write a check, you can print and mail in this form with your check.
-
What's a WAP Rally?
This event will be held in October during the school day. All students that have at least $25 raised in their name will get a ticket. It's like a Pep Rally but with a lot of silliness thrown in.
-
What's a WAPPY Hour?
It's a fun event for adults to get together and enjoy some food and drinks. An invitation will go out to all PAW Sponsors for a date in November. There will be opportunities to sign up for more events throughout the year at the WAPPY Hour.
-
Why don't we have an auction?
We do love a party but auctions are expensive and a lot of work. This year we've added both a WAP Rally for students and a WAPPY Hour for adults to celebrate this fundraiser. There will also be additional parent party signups at the WAPPY Hour.
-
Who thought this was a good idea?
Well, we did! But actually Paschal has had a Write-a-Check campaign since 2015. We are just building on the hard work and success of those before us.
