OPES COMMUNITY SPONSORSHIPS 🦅
NOW SEEKING 2026–2027 COMMUNITY SPONSORS
Commitment deadline: Friday, July 10, 2026

We’re inviting local businesses and community partners to support Orchard Park Elementary School for the upcoming school year through our 2026–2027 PTO Sponsorship Program. Whether you’re a returning sponsor, have supported a Spirit Night or Garden Party event, or are interested in partnering with OPES for the very first time, we’d love to work with you!
Because of our amazing sponsors, OPES PTO has been able to support:
• Classroom startup funds
• Field trips & student enrichment
• One School One Book
• Educational software & literacy resources
• Staff hospitality & appreciation
• Playground & campus improvements
• And so much more throughout the school year
As OPES continues navigating district growth and redistricting changes, community partnerships are more important than ever in helping us continue providing meaningful opportunities and resources for our students and staff.
Sponsorship levels range from $300–$5,000 and include recognition through:
• Social media & website promotion
• School banners & signage
• Boosterthon t-shirts
• Event sponsorship opportunities
• And more
