💜💚McNeal Families—have you ever wondered where your PTO support goes?

We’re sharing this budget transparency flyer to show how your generosity directly supports our Wildcats! This year, the McNeal PTO has budgeted $115,860 for student programs, classroom and staff support, family events, school safety, and more—all funded through PTO fundraising.

This flyer highlights our top 10 funded programs, totaling $48,900, including Leader in Me, Renaissance Reading, classroom and team supplies, turf field support, staff appreciation and professional development, dismissal safety, student leadership clubs, and digital learning resources.

We’re sharing this because every business partnership, Color Run donation, event item purchase, and volunteer effort makes these opportunities possible. We want our families to see the meaningful impact we create together, and to know exactly how your support is being put to work.

Thank you for investing in our students, teachers, staff, and entire Wildcat community. Together, Wildcats Lead with Pride! 🐾

Please like, share, and tag anyone that might be interested in this information! 🙏
