Fundraisers that support McKee PTA
PTA spends about $65 per student in order to provide all of our programs and activities throughout the year. The fundraising activities listed below provide the vast majority of the funds that we need for the year.
We sincerely appreciate your support, and we hope that this list will help you plan out your year and will allow you to decide which events/activities are most suited to your family.
Fall Event
The annual Walk-a-Thon is a fun, healthy, fundraising event for McKee PTA. McKee students are asked to gather family and friends to sponsor them as they walk laps around our soccer field. This is a great way to donate to the PTA without having to buy anything!
The event is held during the school day. Different grades are assigned time slots for their walk. Families are welcome to attend and walk with their children for an additional donation of only $5!
100% of every donation goes to the PTA!

Throughout the year
Every year, the PTA holds a Spiritwear sale for students and parents to purchase West Allegheny apparel and other Spiritwear items. Stock up on items for the various Spirit days at school throughout the year!
Our second Spiritwear Sale is open
Delivery is expected for the week of December 13, 2021
Approximately 20% of your Spiritwear purchase goes to the PTA.

October - March
Every year, McKee PTA holds Sarris Candies fund-raisers. We traditionally have a sale in November for Christmas items. Depending on the success of our other fundraisers for the year, we sometimes also hold another Sarris sale again in the Spring for Easter items. Please take this opportunity to stock up on Sarris Candies and support the McKee PTA at the same time.
Approximately 30% of your Sarris purchase goes to the PTA.
