Wabasha-Kellogg PTO - Parent Teacher Organization

10/20/2026

IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING!!! After over two years in the making, we are SO excited to share that the playground equipment is expected to arrive at school TODAY, with installation beginning shortly after. If all goes as planned, by the end of this week, our older elementary students will finally have a sufficient, engaging, and ADA compliant playground! 🥹

Seeing this vision finally come to life is an incredibly personal and rewarding feeling for many of the parents in our organization. When we started this journey, our $115,000 fundraising goal felt massive and nearly impossible. There were many moments when we felt defeated - but we kept going, our community kept showing up, and little by little, we turned what once felt like a dream into reality.

This is about so much more than playground equipment. It’s about giving our kids a place to belong, move their bodies, fuel their minds, challenge one another, learn teamwork, build friendships, and even help prevent bullying by fostering connection and inclusion. In a world where technology is becoming increasingly present in our children’s lives, and social-emotional skills are more important than ever, we have to make space for the things that help kids grow beyond the classroom. They need opportunities to connect face-to-face, navigate challenges together, build confidence, and simply BE KIDS.

To our local business owners, families, donors, volunteers, and everyone who contributed to funding and supporting this project - THANK YOU! This would not have been possible without you. Our community came together for our kids, and that generosity will make a difference for years to come.

We cannot wait to see the smiles on our kids' faces. Wabasha-Kellogg Falcons, YOUR PLAYGROUND IS ALMOST HERE! 🦅🎉

🇺🇸❤️ A HUGE THANK YOU to the VFW! ❤️🇺🇸

The WK PTO would like to give a heartfelt thank you to our local VFW for their incredibly generous $1,000 donation to support our WK teachers!

Our teachers spend countless hours teaching, encouraging, guiding, and supporting our children. They aren’t just helping our kids learn—they are helping shape them into kind, confident, caring, and wonderful human beings. ❤️

We are so grateful for the VFW’s continued support of our school and for recognizing the important work our teachers do every single day. This generous donation will help provide our teachers with additional resources and support for their classrooms and students.

Thank you to the VFW for investing in our teachers and, ultimately, in the future of our children! 🇺🇸📚🍎

WK is lucky to have such an amazing community!

We want to give another round of thanks to Harris Company for their incredible show of support at our golf tournament this summer. Thanks to their innovative Drone Ball Drop (scroll down our page to see how cool it was) they collected $2,100 from players, plus matched $1,000.

We couldn't be more grateful for their generosity and support!

Thank you Wabasha County Herald for the article!

PTO Raises $17,802 for the W-K Playground at Golf Tournament

Click here to read how the Wabasha-Kellogg PTO more than doubled their fundraising outcomes from the previous year, exceeding their goal by nearly $8,000:

What a year! Last year we raised $7,850 and we were thrilled with that amount. This year we set a goal of $10,000 which felt doable, but you never know what the response will be.

We're so excited and proud to confirm this year at our 2nd Annual "Fore the Falcons" Golf Tournament we raised $17,802!!! This is more than we've ever raised in an entire year with all of our fundraisers combined.🥹

So what made the difference?
- More awareness
- More time to plan
- More volunteers
- A silent auction that brought in $2,120
- 10 premium Hole Sponsors who made a larger presence
- Harris Co. did the Drone Ball Drop that raised $2,100 - plus they matched up to $1,000
- We hit the max of 25 teams- and even had to turn teams away! (Last year we had 14 teams)

We are so incredibly proud of our team, community, sponsors and everyone who invested in this event for our students. We are excited to share playground updates soon - and can't wait to see you all on the course again next year! 😎⛳

We are overwhelmed with gratitude after an incredibly successful fundraiser Golf Tournament yesterday! ⛳️

Our players, sponsors, and volunteers really showed up for us. We filled the course with 25 teams, 26 sponsors, and while we’re still putting together the final numbers, we already know this tournament was the final push we needed to get the playground installed (more details to come soon!)

This has only been possible because of the incredible generosity of our community. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to all who made this event happen and for believing in us and our students. ❤️🖤🤍
