Every Falcon deserves a great year

What a PTC actually does

Short version: we raise money and we show up. Longer version below.

Antelope Creek is a TK-6 school of about 415 kids in Rocklin Unified. Public school budgets cover the essentials and not much else, so the extras that make a school year memorable come from families like yours. Two fundraisers a year, a spirit wear shop and a lot of volunteer hours turn into field trips, classroom supplies, new library furniture, staff appreciation and every party on the calendar.

There are no dues and no minimum. Come to a meeting, work a booth for an hour, send in Box Tops, or just read the newsletter. All of it counts.

Spark the Arts crest
Spark the Arts is the school's arts program. The PTC put $15,145.67 behind it last year โ€” the single biggest line after campus improvements.
  • Events

    Fall Festival, Talon Ticket shopping days, the Book Fair, spirit days and the end-of-year send-off for our 6th graders.

  • Classrooms

    Teacher grants, classroom supplies, library books and flexible seating, and support for Spark the Arts programming.

  • Staff

    Appreciation lunches, the coffee cart, conference-week meals and small thank-yous through the year.

  • Community

    The Falcon Family Flyer, our social channels, and a standing invitation to every family to sit in on a meeting.

Where the money goes

Real things your donations bought, with receipts. We add to this list as we spend.

Library

New library tables and seating

The library got a full furniture refresh - movable curved tables and stackable chairs that let classes spread out for reading groups, projects and lessons instead of sitting in rows.

Funded by the 2025-26 school fundraiser

Maker Space

Soft seating for the Maker Space

Modular benches, risers and lounge pieces turned a bare corner of the library into a Maker Space where kids can build, read and work together comfortably.

Funded by the 2025-26 school fundraiser

Staff appreciation

Coffee cart for the whole staff

We hired a local coffee trailer and bought every teacher, aide and staff member a drink on the house during the first week back. Small thing, big morning.

Funded by PTC general funds

Events

Every event on the calendar

The Fall Festival, spirit days, Talon Ticket shopping and the Book Fair all run on PTC money and PTC volunteers. Games, decorations, prizes and staffing come out of what we raise.
