$45,000 Goal

We hit our first stretch goal of $40,000 — can we make it $45K?!?

Thanks to this incredible Cougar community, we crushed our original $30,000 goal for North Texas Giving Day. Add in the $5,000 match from Assay Wealth Partners, which we unlocked early thanks to your generosity, and we're already at $35,000! Then we hit the next stretch goal of $40K. Now we're setting our sights higher: help us raise another $5,000 to hit a $45,000 for our second stretch goal and give our students and teachers even more this year.

Let's keep the momentum going, Cougars — every gift gets us closer!

Our Growing Needs

Geneva Heights Elementary is a neighborhood Title I school nestled into a very diverse neighborhood in East Dallas. Together, the faculty, staff and PTA aim to develop well-rounded student leaders equipped with the skills to become globally-conscious citizens dedicated to lifelong learning. 

Geneva Heights Elementary is growing — and we mean that literally. Our enrollment has soared this year, which means more Cougar families and kids relying on everything we do: our Peace Pantry (school food Pantry), field trips, in-school clubs, teacher enrichment and professional development, our garden, and the arts. Meeting a bigger campus community takes bigger support, and that's where you come in. 

Your gift today helps us keep every part of the Geneva Heights experience thriving as our school grows.

And thanks to some of the early giving from our incredible Cougar community, we've unlocked the full $5,000 match from Assay Wealth Partners (a long-time Geneva Supporter!). That's an extra $5,000 headed straight to Teacher Appreciation. Thank you, Assay Wealth Partners, and thank you to everyone who gave early to make it happen!

Some of the Impact Areas PTA Supports Year-Round:

  • 🎒 Field Trips & Enrichment — Bring science, history, and nature to life through field trips that expand horizons and spark curiosity.
  • 📚 Teacher Training & Classroom Resources — Professional development and supplies that elevate every classroom.
  • 🏫 In-School Clubs — From Legos to the Cougar News Network, keep our clubs active, inclusive, and enriching.
  • 🎭 Fine Arts & Our Musical: Costumes, sets, script rights, and everything it takes to put on a show.
  • 🌿 Community Garden: Continued Curriculum + Chicken Coop & Crushed Gravel — Help us continue nurturing our kiddos in the garden with creative curriculum, a chicken coop and rushed gravel pathways so our garden classroom can keep growing.
  • 🧺 Peace Pantry — Our school family has grown, and so has the need. Help us make sure every Cougar has what they need to learn and thrive.
  • 🏕️ Camp Grady Spruce — Give our 5th graders a hands-on outdoor education experience to remember. 
  • 📣 New Cheer Club Uniforms — Outfit our brand-new after-school cheer squad as they take the field for the first time.
  • 🍎 Teacher & Staff Appreciation — Show our teachers some love — help us build on the $5K Assay Wealth Partners match we're already hit. Our teachers need our support and resources every day!
