WHY?
As a charter school, our base operating per pupil allotment is lower than our neighboring public schools and, like Denver Public Schools, FASDenver is responsible for securing and funding its facilities - a cost that amounts to nearly $450k this year alone.
For this event, FASD has identified a $60,000 fundraising goal to:
-
Expand, retain, and better support our high-caliber teaching staff and fund the necessary visas for teachers from France and other Francophone countries.
-
Secure more of our unique curriculum materials for our growing student body, which come directly from France
-
Support enrichment programs and collaborations with neighboring institutions like the Denver Zoo and Museum of Nature and Science.
-
Expand our facility to support growth and enhance classroom technology.
-
Enhance professional development in language immersion techniques for all our staff.
