Did you know schools and families cover the cost of field trips and supplies for special projects and events in each class? This leads to inequality between schools based on the ability of their families to donate.
Every year, Friends of Roxhill starts the year with our back-to-school fundraiser. All proceeds raised go to fund classroom grants that directly benefit our students!
Students have gone to the Seattle Aquarium, the Woodland Park Zoo, and the Seattle Children’s Theater thanks to the generosity of donors. Students would have otherwise gone without these valuable learning experiences and opportunities for happy memories at school.
Our goals for this year:
- $20-25: Covers one student
- $80-100: Covers a table group
- $350-$400: Covers one whole class!
Can you chip in to help build rich learning environments for our kids?
