Russell Elementary started the Backpack Program to ensure that students with limited food options at home have a consistent source of food over their weekends until they return to school on Mondays. Money donated goes directly to purchasing food for student's backpacks, which volunteers fill each week with a variety of nutritious and easy meals and snacks.

The Russell Elementary PTV raises funds that are put back into the direct education of the students, or programs that indirectly support the education of the students.

To raise funds, PTV sponsors several fundraisers throughout the year. What do we do with the money that is raised? PTV pays for all field trips (transportation and admission fees) for every class. Over the past years we have purchased tables and chairs for classrooms and updated technology (& Chromebooks) throughout the school. We also sponsor staff appreciation events and help teachers buy much needed classroom supplies.

Thank you for your interest and support!!!
