PTO Fundraisers
All that the PTO does is ONLY possible through the generous support of our many fundraisers. Click
here to see how PTO fundraisers help Monroe. Check out some of the easy ways below you can help!
Annual Fundraisers
These two important fundraisers make ~$20,000 annually and provide support for ~80% of our budget.
Monroe STEMpede
This year, we will be holding a family fun run/walk on September 28, 2019. 100% of the money raised from this important fundraiser will go directly to the PTO and to puchase new technology for our Monroe students. Students will collect pledges ahead of time to support their run/walk on the school grounds. Don't forget to check with your company to see if you are eligible for corporate matching.
Spring Fundraiser

Effortless or Ongoing Fundraisers
These smaller fundraisers earn ~$5,000 annually. Most of them take very little time or effort but help the Monroe and the PTO in a BIG way.
AmazonSmile
Simply go to smile.amazon.com when you shop. It’s the same great Amazon shopping experience and same prices too. The first time you go to the site you will be asked to choose your charitable organization. Please choose “Monroe Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization PTO” in Brooklyn Park, MN. The Monroe PTO will receive 0.5% of your eligible AmazonSmile purchases whenever your shop at smile.amazon.com.
Subway
Four times a year, the PTO organizes a Subway Night with the Subway at the corner of 85th Ave. and Hwy. 252. Simply stop by the Subway at anytime during that day and mention Monroe when you order. A portion of all sales comes back to us!
