Q: How will my donation by used?
A: The bulk of the Foundation’s fundraising is used to hire additional teachers (salaries and benefits), to keep our classroom sizes small and to provide additional offerings of classes not funded by the county. The money we raise during the current school year primarily will go toward hiring teachers for the next school year. In addition, capital improvements are done throughout the current calendar year for landscaping, teacher grants, and hosting events that serve students and teachers. Simply click on the Donate menu.
Q: Where will my name display on the Donor Wall if I donate as a rising 9th grader in the spring?
A: We will display the names of rising 9th grade spring donors in the right column of the next year’s Donor wall page so that you are recognized for your generous contribution. Therefore, if you donate in the spring on behalf of your rising 9th grader, your name will display on the current year’s Donor wall page, as well as the next year’s Donor page (under the rising 9th grade list).
Q: My child is a senior. Why should I donate?
A: Your student benefitted from our community donating to the Foundation starting from the time your student was in 8th grade. When your student began school as a freshman, Foundation monies were used from the previous year to provide your student with additional teaching staff. Your senior student also benefits from the landscaping, building improvements, and the activities hosted by the Foundation during their final year. (Plus for donors who donate $250+, your senior student will be recognized by a special Blue Bow with a senior ornament when the Foundation Paints the Town Blue).
