Ways to Give

Your donations is more important than ever, with recent budget cuts impacting CRES directly. 

Fundraising is a core PTO responsibility, helping provide unique enrichment programs and opportunities that enhance our students’ education. Many of these offerings are possible thanks to the strong partnership between CRES staff and the PTO.

There are a few ways to give:
