2025-26 Community Events and Fundraisers

Join us on the Givens blacktop & playground on Friday, September 5th to kick off the school year! We'll have games, prizes, food, and fun. We can't wait to celebrate the new school year with you! All Givens families are welcome.

Join us on Friday, October. 24, from 5:30-7pm at the Givens Back Lot for candy, photos, friends, fun, and a movie in the gym! Sealed candy will be provided by the PTO. 

This community event is free to attend and costumes are optional. 

If you wish to register to decorate your trunk, the fee is $30 payable to @GivensPTO via Venmo or by sending check/cash via backpack mail labeled Front Office: PTO. 

The annual Givens Read-A-Thon will be held Nov. 4-14. Our goal is to raise $9,000 -- that's just $27 per student! Visit the website to donate and learn more.

All students who participate will be entered for a chance to win a $15 Scholastic Book Fair gift cards or Gray Wolf stuffie!

*BONUS* If we meet our goal, ALL students will get DJ lunch on 11/24 and ice cream recess on 11/25!

The annual Scholastic Book Fair will take place in the Givens Library Nov. 17-21! 

This is a fun and exciting event, with all proceeds going to the Givens Library, our Book Fair scholarship program, and Book Battle prizes. 

It’s also an opportunity for members of the Givens community to volunteer their time to ensure a smooth and successful Book Fair. Volunteers are needed to help students purchase books and other items, as well as to assist in set up and break down.

Join us for a fun, adults-only evening filled with trivia, laughter, friendly competition, and an incredible silent auction, all in support of our Gray Wolves. This is our biggest (and most fun!) fundraiser of the year, and we would love to see you there.

On designated days, a percentage of your purchase will be donated back to the Givens PTO. This is a great opportunity to skip the cooking, support local businesses, and raise money for Givens at the same time! Upcoming dine-outs will be communicated via ParentSquare and social media.
