GIVING TUESDAY ● DECEMBER 1, 2026
Together, we make more possible for every Bluejay.
This Giving Tuesday, join fellow Armstrong families in giving our kids the experiences that make our school unforgettable: hands-on enrichments, family nights, author visits, and the classroom resources they need to thrive. Every gift, no matter the size, stays right here at Armstrong.
OUR 2026-27 FUNDRAISING GOAL
$25,000
We’re 20% of the way there! Every gift, large or small, moves the bar for Armstrong students.

Creating more opportunities for Armstrong students.
The Armstrong Parent Group is the all-volunteer parent organization for Armstrong Elementary School and a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We fund the programs, experiences, and resources that fall outside of the school budget, and we bring families, teachers, and staff together as one community. When you give to the APG, you’re giving directly to the students, classrooms, and community that make Armstrong special.
Your gift in action.
Every contribution makes a difference. Here are just a few examples of the programs, experiences, and resources your donation could help fund.
$10
Children’s picture books, markers, or sensory tools.
$25
Math and science supplies, early-reader books, or classroom materials.

Any amount
Every gift helps support Armstrong students, classrooms, and community.
These are just a few ways donations may be used. Actual funding is determined each year based on school needs and priorities.
DOUBLE YOUR DONATION
Your employer may match your gift, at no extra cost to you.
Many companies match their employees’ donations to 501(c)(3) nonprofits like the APG, often dollar for dollar. That means a $50 gift could become $100 for Armstrong students. Most eligible families never ask, so a few minutes can make a big difference!
- Give to the APG. Make your donation online and keep your emailed receipt.
- Check with your employer. Look for “matching gifts” in your benefits or giving portal (like Benevity, YourCause, or CyberGrants), or ask your HR department.
- Submit a match request. Search for “Armstrong Parent Group” in Westborough, MA, or enter our tax ID. We’ll confirm your gift when your company checks it.

SPREAD THE WORD
It takes a village. Invite yours.
Neighbors, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and family friends love cheering on Armstrong kids! Share our mission directly or on social media with the people in your child’s corner. Their gifts count toward our goal, and they may be eligible for an employer match too.
A MESSAGE YOU CAN SEND OR POST
“This Giving Tuesday, I’m supporting my child’s school, Armstrong Elementary in Westborough. The parent group funds hands-on workshops, family events, enrichments, and resources for every student. If you’d like to help, even a small gift makes a difference!”
Questions families ask.
Is my gift tax-deductible?
The APG is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so donations are generally tax-deductible. You’ll receive an emailed receipt for your records.
Doesn’t the school budget cover this?
The school’s budget covers a lot, including core essentials. The APG funds things that the school budget doesn’t, like enrichment programs, events, and teacher-requested materials.
Is there a suggested amount?
No. Give what feels right for your family. Every gift counts, and every Armstrong student benefits from APG programs, whether or not their family gives.
Can I give another way?
Yes! Checks can be made out to “Armstrong Parent Group” and mailed to the school. We also accept Venmo.
