This was a huge increase from 2007 which was just over $30k. A couple new factors that played a big role in our revenue increase:
- Black & White Photos of the Kids
- Fund a Need
- Cake Auction
- Instant Wine Cellar Raffle
What do we do?
Our core purpose has been and still is to pay the salaries for our classroom aides to support our children and teachers, which otherwise are NOT funded by the school district. The Foundation funds the salaries of classroom aides for Kindergarten, 4th and 5th grades. Funds the our computer lab instructor which supports all grades. Most recently we are funding a portion of the salaries for the PE instructors K-3rd (2008-09 school year.), which otherwise would have cut due to current budget cuts. Every year the foundation funds MARE our marine science program for all grades. Also, new this year an after school Math Enrichment Program, 14 new computers for computer lab, & and maps and Bellworks text books.
How do we do it?
Donations, donations, donations! We couldn't do it without the support of our generous parents, the local community and PHE staff! The Foundation asks for a per child donation at the beginning of the school year, and relies upon funds raised through Spellathon, the Spring Gala, and eScrip contributions received throughout the year.
