YOU CAN HELP FUND ART, SPANISH & A LIBRARIAN AT BIRNEY FOR JUST 33 CENTS A DAY!!Birney is a unique, thriving and diverse school because of its dedication to teaching the “whole child.” A large part of Birney’s successful approach to learning is its commitment to teach art and Spanish, and to have a librarian staff the school library, even in the face of severe budget cuts which have eliminated funding for them.
The 2011-2012 goal for Friends of Alice Birney Elementary (FOABE) is to raise the $55,000 needed to cover these essential elements of a Birney education. Last year’s spring jog-a-thon raised $15,000 toward that goal, and we have more community directed fundraising events and grant writing planned. But did you know that if every Birney family gave just 33 cents a day ($10.00 a month or $120 a year), we could fund our art, Spanish and a librarian for the whole year??
Not everyone can participate in our fundraising efforts. But, if you can, please consider downloading this form and making a donation to support the great things our principal, teachers, staff and kids are accomplishing at Birney.
