Overview

Mission

Our purpose is to encourage parents and local community to donate time and finances to assist with activities, functions, and services at Buckner Elementary School; provide financial assistance where needs are identified within the school; foster positive community; and support the mission and vision of the school and district.

What it reported doing in 2025

The next largest amount was spent in direct provision of social type events at Buckner Elementary School for the purposes of community building, enrichment, and cultivation of a positive learning environment, benefiting the over 600 students, nearly 100 staff, and all associated family members. This included a school themed t-shirts for all students and staff, Back to School Event, the annual Fall Dance/Social ("Buckner Bash"), a schoolwide Skating Party, a Donuts with Santa event for all students, staff and family. And finally we funded the school's annual talent show.
