A foundation for Sagamore Hills Elementary School doesn't exist (as of 2014), but is being considered.

What

What is a foundation anyway?

Why

New funding options become available. Currently, the only way the school can be supported financially is by the Sagamore Hills Elementary School PTA, being a tax-exempt non-profit (501(c)(3)), the ways in which the money can be raised, managed, and spent, are limited. [expand]

Why not

We don't have the resources (volunteers) (a concern mentioned at the 2014-03-04 PTA Board meeting)

Purpose

  • "pay teachers for foreign language instruction and technology instruction" (Suzi Wilki, 2015-01)
  • (Lara Baldwin, 2015-01)
    • more ipads! more laptops!
    • better playground, even handicap accessible!
    • painting the inside and outside of the school!
    • update the bathrooms!
    • supplement STEM committee teachers' salaries! (they work after school for free, and they're doing such an amazing job!)
    • apply and get grants for wonderful things that our school and students and teachers need!
  • Technology education (John Lenz, 2012)
