Inside this Newsletter

The COHO Run, Sakai PTO's biggest fundraiser of the year is here. We will conclude the fundraising period with a run for kids on Friday, October 25 at the Woodward track. The event will also feature a “spirit day” where homeroom classes compete for the most class spirit by dressing up in costume. Funds raised by the COHO Run will help support enrichment and educational resources such as teacher grants, grade-level assemblies, classroom and teacher supplies, field trips, subscriptions, educational programs, and community events/parent resources. 

Your PTO is committed to funding experiences and events to foster a strong sense of engagement and community among all. Our goal is to collectively raise $70,000 (about $160 per student), though donations of any amount are gratefully accepted. We are truly grateful for any financial support you can provide at this time. Our goal is 100% participation, and no donation is too small! Donations can be made online, or by check/cash (details below).

A: This is likely because the student has not yet been registered. That’s okay! We can still make sure they get credit for your support. Simply click “Can’t find the student you’re looking for?” and enter the student’s name. Then complete your transaction and Rally Up will prompt our administrator to assign your donation to your student.

A: For privacy, some families opt to only display first name and last initial. It’s very helpful if you know the teacher’s name so you can confirm you have found the right student. Reach out if you need help by clicking the “contact organizer” button.

A: No worries! Send us a message alerting us to the issue and we can reassign your donation to the intended student.

A: After completing your donation you will see a “donation confirmed” screen. If you do not see this message, you have not completed checkout.
