The Tuckahoe PTA raises funds through a variety of events and programs including the gift wrap sale, plant sales, the book fair, school pictures, Harvest Fest, Home and Garden Tour and others. These funds are spent to enrich the school programs and facilities. Our two largest expenditures are for the funding of the Math Instructional Assistant and our Teacher Grant Program, which accounts for about 40% of our annual expenditures. Other funding goes to teacher training and activities, field trip transportation, Tuckahoe Times printing, the Discovery Schoolyard maintenance, the Literary Magazine, safety patrols, awards, summer school scholarships, arts and education, Junior Great Books, Reflections, and many other activities. Some items, such as the construction of the Discovery Schoolyard and Enrichment programs, are handled as restricted accounts that have funds specifically earmarked.

The 2012-2013 PTA Budget was approved by the PTA Executive Board and general membership at Back-to-School night in September, 2012. The Monthly Financial Report is presented at each PTA meeting.  The proposed 2013-2014 PTA Budget will be presented at the Ice Cream Social in June, 2013.
