We would have ENOUGH to cover our projected expenses FOR THE YEAR – other fundraising money could pay for:
We could fund new enrichment…like a
technology teacher, a dedicated PE teacher, an art teacher…possibilities
are endless
Our students would have the same enrichment opportunities as their peers in other local schools, we will all filter into the same high schools one day!
