In addition, we were able to fund the following during the year (total expenses were $20,793):

  • Outdoor classroom supplies – including new garden beds and much needed repair work on the courtyard pond
  • Outdoor classroom coordinator hours – we were able to fund around 24 hours of Ms. Christy's time

  • Expedition Support: We funded an artist to come speak with our 3rd, 4th and 5th graders during their expedition

  • Teacher appreciation: We were able to celebrate our teachers throughout the year with an ice cream truck, goodie bags, gift cards etc.
  • 5th grade promotion: We helped to celebrate our current 5th graders with memory books and t-shirts. We also helped fund some surprises for prior year 5th graders (who finally got their kickball game after a year long wait).
