Program 3: Carnival Fundraiser and Family Engagement A school wide fall carnival served over 500 students and families. It included over 30 booths, food vendors, and entertainment.

“Column C ("Other Events") includes the following 5 events: Glow Dance Me and My VIP Dance Popcorn Fridays Friendship-grams First Day of School Pictures These events generated combined gross receipts of $18,643.17, with $5,028.52 in direct expenses and net income of $13,614.65.

“BCESPTA receives fundraising revenue from events such as popcorn sales, dances, and merchandise. The PTA treats these as program service revenue rather than contributions, since goods and services are provided in return. No revenue from these events is counted toward public support under contributions.”
