Give a Donation, Get a Lifetime of Gratitude
Yearbook…
We offer one of a kind yearbooks. These are created by the PTO for the students at BLES. Not only is the yearbook something children will cherish for a lifetime, but it is also one of the PTOs main fundraisers for the year.
- Questions? Email info@blespto.org.
Just a plain old donation…
See us at one of our onsite events or send cash or check through your student’s teacher addressed to BLES PTO.
Give on MyPayments Plus!
If you have a student enrolled at BLES, you’re a voting member of our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). In lieu of a formal membership enrollment, we’d like for everyone who can to donate to the PTO so we can continue to provide financial support to our school. We’ve added two options for PTO donations on MyPaymentsPlus – the place where you already go to sign annual paperwork and pay for meals. Give to our general PTO fund to help pay for activities like Bear Scare, STEM Night, cultural arts for each grade level and teacher supply reimbursements. We’ve also added a Helping Hands donation. Those donations go directly to buy essential items for our BLES food pantry. The suggested donation is $15 per family. However, we thank you for any amount you can contribute. Look for PTO in the “other payments” section.
Thanks to those of you who’ve already given generously.

Spirit Wear…
Your PTO provides spirit wear, plush bears, hats, lunchboxes, water bottles, car magnets and more to help us show our Berkeley Bear spirit!
We’ll have pop-up sales throughout the year!
We’ll be at major school events, and we can accept credit cards.
Shop and Give…
Kroger: Simply visit http://www.kroger.com. Once logged into their Kroger account they can search for Berkeley Lake ES PTO, Inc and then click Enroll. New users will need to create an account which requires some basic information, a valid email address and a rewards card.
You can give to our school just by shopping where you normally shop! Get instructions on how to set up giving to our school.
Also, we have a new, online, way to give using Box Tops for Education. See our instructions.
Photo keepsakes…
At our memorable Candlelight Luncheons, our team of volunteer photographers take photos of our guest and design a border with a special BLES design and the year.
It’s a must-have.
Enjoy a meal at your favorite restaurant with other BLES families.
A portion of the cost of your meal goes directly to our school.
Our new October event will be sure to provide all the Trick Or Treats needed for the month of October. Join us for the Trunk Or Treat and then find your way to the playground to watch an outdoor movie under the stars!
Bingo Night…
It’s the event people stand in line for. Yes, it’s true! It’s a March Friday night of fun and prizes with some entertainment sprinkled in.
You can purchase dinner at the event.
What else can we say – it’s the best family night out ever!
School Supply Kits
Order next year’s school supplies before this school year ends!
Did you know the supply kit is also a fundraiser? Take pressure off back-to-school shopping! Order your child’s teacher-customized supply kit now. Order forms will go home at the end of the year. Pay online or send payment through your teacher. That’s all you need to do.
The kit will be delivered to the school and placed in your child’s classroom by the first day of school. A portion of the kit sales goes to the PTO to support our school.
