2009-2010 PTA BUDGET


PTO vs PTA Information

During the school year, the PTA meets the 3rd Tuesday of every month in the school cafeteria at 7:15 PM; babysitting is provided.  We have an exciting year planned & we need your help!  Why not come out & join us?  

Do you bring your camera to school events?  If you have any photos of our students we can use for the school yearbook or slideshow, please email them to Sharon Monasch at: sharon.monasch@sbschools.org

Have you come across any great articles on parenting issues that may be of interest to others?  We’d like to provide a link to them on our PTA page and share them with our parents. Please forward them to PTA President Kristin Romanok at: kromanok@verizon.net for consideration.



PTA Sponsored Programs planned for 2009-2010 There’s more to come, too!  We’re working on additional programs, as well as family nights at NJ Nets, Trenton Titans & Trenton Thunder games. 



Our Dollars at Work Ever wonder where the money we collect goes? The PTA has grants available for programs or other suggestions that would enhance our children's education. Have an idea? Let us know! We are always looking for new programs to benefit our kids. Contact our VP-Programs, at: or

The PTA currently provides:
How You Can Help

ONLY ONE BIG FUNDRAISER – THE DANCE-A-THON - OCTOBER 16THE PTA BOARD IS ASKING YOU GIVE GENEROUSLY TO THE DANCE-A-THON THIS OCTOBER SO THAT WE CAN MEET OUR ANNUAL BUDGET WITH ONLY ONE FUNDRAISING EVENT.


In addition, we have other on-going fundraisers which require minimal effort or additional expense –

The Box Tops for Education - Look for box tops on packages from many of your favorite grocery items; for every one you cut out & send in through your child's teacher, the school gets cash. General Mills sends us a check twice a year (and the last one was over $300!)

Target Cash for Schools program - just ask for your Target charge card to be linked to our school; it's fast & easy - you can do this at Customer Service or online. Monmouth Junction Elementary's ID# is 74061. For each dollar you charge, we receive 1% back in unrestricted funds to use as needed!

Link your SuperFresh Customer Loyalty card to our school - stop by the customer service desk to fill out a short form or download it here. Our school gets credit for every purchase you make! How easy is that?! (For this program, you must reenroll every school year)

Link your Verizon Account to our school - Verizon will donate a percentage to the school for every dollar you spend! Forms are available in the school office.



Community Outreach The PTA is also working to help raise money for Ronald McDonald House Charities, which create, fund & support programs that directly improve the health and well being of children. Many Ronald McDonald Houses work with local recycling centers to receive money for collecting pop tabs from aluminum cans, therefore our classes are now collecting pop tops, too! You can help by sending pop tops into school with your child. This is strictly a charitable contribution.
