Support Our School
One of the key roles of the PAELC HSA is fundraising to support our school. We have several fundraisers throughout the year (Donation/Check Writing Campaign, monthly restaurant nights), however there are many areas where you can help raise funds with little effort.
PAELC Home and School Association's financial commitment helps to support students and teachers throughout the school year. In the past, the HSA has funded school wide assemblies, bussing for field trips, new playground equipment, individual teacher and classroom support as well as student initiatives (e.g., Field Day, snacks, activities for Cozy Cubs reading night) and support for students with limited means.
Take a moment to review the list below and thank you in advance for your participation in any or all of these initiatives.
General Donations
Your contribution makes a difference, no matter if it is $5 or $50. Participation is simple…write a check and you’re done! No gift-wrap, no candles, no pizza. Please consider making a difference for every student by making a family donation to PAELC Home & School Association. We want our students to have the best education available and programs that turn a good education into an outstanding one. That’s where PAELC Home & School Association comes in. It helps fill the gap between what the Phoenixville Area School District (PASD) education budget covers and what our children need.

Company Matching
Please note that a portion of our fundraising each year also comes from company matching donations (e.g. Vanguard). If your company does company matching, please let one of the HSA officers know!
Shop with RaiseRight
PAELC HSA is using an organization called Raise Right to sell gift cards from over 700 brands.
Parents can buy digital or physical gift cards through the website https://www.raiseright.com or the mobile app “RaiseRight.” Each gift card has a certain rebate percentage (2%-18%).
