DONATE
Parents frequently ask the PTA Board if a donation can be made to the school rather than participating in a particular fundraiser or just because they would like to give some financial support to the school. Please know this is always an option and preferred by many families. Checks can be made payable to Cotton Creek PTA with a note attached indicating this is a donation. You may drop off your check in the main office or give it to your students teacher. It's important for you to remember that when you make a decision to send in a donation, Cotton Creek PTA receives 100% of the money to put toward events and support of school resources that can impact your child. If you choose to participate, we appreciate your support for the wonderful staff and students of Cotton Creek.
