Anderson Auction

The annual Anderson Auction is our second largest fundraiser of the year raising over 20% of our revenue budget and bringing families together in a fun and meaningful way.

Congratulations and thank you to our newly elected auction co-chairs, Pooja Midha and Danielle Bualon.

Please consider businesses and people we can ask to donate auction items. Let’s make the 2026 Auction unforgettable—together!

Dragon Fuel

Let’s start the school year off right by thanking Anderson teachers and staff for all of their hard work. We are continuing the tradition of giving back with monthly Dragon Fuel, a surprise trolley of snacks and treats.

Please purchase some Dragon Fuel from the link to the Amazon wishlist, and it will be delivered directly to the school for distribution.

Thank you for supporting the Anderson community! We will periodically add more items to the wishlist, so please check back often.

Support Anderson’s 2025–2026 Direct Appeal

Thank you to the families who have already donated $90,000 toward our goal of $500,000 – you helped us get this school year off to a dragon roaring good start!!

We hope you received our flyer in your student’s backpack, and we have linked to the digital copy HERE.  Read it to learn more about how the Anderson PTA raises funds, and understand how critical the role of Direct Appeal is in bridging the gap between what the DOE provides and what the robust Anderson experience looks like across K-8. We hope all families will participate, regardless of donation size.
