]]> 2012-05-11T21:12:14+00:00 Have You Given Your Dollar a Day? http://bainbridgeschoolsfoundation.com/news/detail/have_you_given_your_dollar_a_day http://bainbridgeschoolsfoundation.com/news/detail/have_you_given_your_dollar_a_day#When:14:48:23Z • Thanks to all who gave in 2011-12 to Bainbridge Schools Foundation. Your support of the one dollar a day campaign last spring, Clickathon, One Call for All, and the Dinner Auction Gala allowed us to meet our $1M pledge to the school district.
• The district continues to face additional budget challenges and staffing cuts.
• Our goal is to give another $1M to the school ditrict in 2012-13. We’re off to a great start as the Spring Breakfast and GiveBIG events have already generated $75,000.
• Today we are launching the spring one dollar a day campaign. The amount of money this campaign raises will determine how many teachers and staff can be retained rather than cut.
• Every student in every classroom benefits from you giving one dollar a day ($360/child or $30/month/child).
• We hope all families will give and/or renew their financial support of our schools by going to www.bainbridgeschoolsfoundation.org.
• Help us preserve the quality of public education on Bainbridge Island!
Thank you for your ongoing support!
