Thank you to everyone who made a year-end donation to the Foundation! Thanks to you, we offer our students opportunity not only in reading, writing, science, and math, but also in the fine arts and performing arts, world languages, robotics, athletics, Innovation Lab, Gone Boarding, mental health resources, and so much more. We support our students in nearly everything they do. 

There's still time to take advantage of matching gifts from two incredibly generous donors. One individual has pledged to match all donations to the Mental Health and Wellness Fund dollar for dollar up to a total of $50,000. Another donor has pledged to match all donations to Jimmy's Friendship Fund for families in need up to a total of $20,000. Jimmy's Friendship Fund provides funds to families who are experiencing temporary financial hardship so more of our students can participate in all the opportunities our schools offer.

By donating now to either one of these funds, the impact of your gift will be doubled!
