All in for Kids Campaign Wrap-Up
Thank You PTSA parents for kicking off the Foundation’s holiday season with an amazing gift—a successful All in for Kids Annual Fund Campaign. You clicked, mailed and answered our calls to the tune of $366,805. Because of your generosity, our students will continue to benefit from programs and initiatives that transform the basic education funded by the state to the comprehensive, 21st century education they need to succeed. Please join us in applauding our campaign chair, Camille Vaska, for her six-month long leadership of this critical fundraising event. Kudos also to our amazing PTSA/ISF Reps and Presidents who partnered with us every step of the way.
IMPORTANT REMINDER—Pledges and matching gifts are included in the All in for Kids campaign total. If you pledged and/or indicated an employer match, please follow through. Respond to your pledge remit letter and fill out any required matching gift forms to ensure every one of the $366,805 anticipated dollars can benefit our students. Thank you!
Donors + After School Program = Successful Students
Music Matters
In response to requests from music and arts teachers, the Foundation is working with District staff to create a $100,000 per year Dedicated Fine Arts Fund for our middle and high schools. Proceeds from the fall All in for Kids campaign and this spring’s Nourish Every Mind Luncheon will underwrite the effort. Learn More
