"WE GIVE BECAUSE WHILE A PUBLIC-SCHOOL EDUCATION IS FREE, AN ENRICHED EDUCATION IS NOT."

Invest in the Best Campaign: 

• We thoughtfully ask $150 per child to reach our $75,000 goal 
• You can donate more than once (you can break up payments)
• Any amount is greatly appreciated 
• Money raised will be spent on the current 2025- 2026 school year 

How Parent Contributions Help Our School:

Safety

• School Dismissal Manager ($2,300): A secure platform that ensures students are dismissed safely and efficiently, with real-time updates for parents and staff.

School Fees ($20,000)

• Covers essential operational costs not funded by the district, including technology licenses, supplies, and enrichment programs. Items such as Kleenex, Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer, class treats, folders, colored paper, office supplies, labels, poster paper, composition books, writing notebooks, etc.

Teacher Appreciation

• Lunches, birthday treats, door magnets: Small gestures that show gratitude and boost morale for our hardworking teachers and staff.

Facility Maintenance & Upgrades

• Landscaping ($12,000): Keeps our campus welcoming and safe for students and visitors. Diminishes pests. 
• Office kitchen spruce-up ($1,000): Refreshes a shared space used daily by staff.
• Carpet cleaner ($300): Helps maintain clean and healthy learning environments.
• Fuzzy Feet ($7,771): Essential caps for the bottoms of chairs to reduce noise and protect floors as students move chairs in the classrooms. These caps would replace the tennis balls that are currently on the bottoms of many chairs across the school. 
• Umbrella stands/umbrellas: Keeps students and staff safe and dry during rainy dismissals.
