Support Our Schools
(SOS)
We are off to an AMAZING start! Thank you to all the AOE
families who have so generously donated to our 2008 - 2009 AOE Support Our
School Annual
Giving Campaign. At the end of Week 2, we just passed the $20,000 mark in
personal donations and matching corporate sponsorships.
Our AOE students will begin
to receive the direct benefits of these donations as Mrs. Wright and Mrs.
Tomechak start their science experiments.
PE, Kindergarten Karate, and Music will begin in a few short weeks. Teacher
classroom grants are available now!
Please keep those donations
coming to keep Science Labs, PE, KindergartenKarate, Music, and Classroom
grants alive. Your 2008 SOS contributions will
fund:
* Science Teachers, Grades 1-5: $29,000
* PE Teachers, Gr. 1-5/Kindergarten Karate: $29,000
* Music Program, K-5: $20,000
* Teacher Grants/Classroom Expenses K-5: $5,000
PTA sponsored events like gift wrap sales, restaurant nights, carnivals and
dances cover only a portion of these expenses. Our SOS Campaign Goal is to
raise $50,000 by November 15th to cover the remainder of the costs.
