2024-25 Fundraising
The Foundation funds many resources each year! We focus on innovative, enhanced educational resources that support the whole child, like software subscriptions, tech devices, STEM supplies, educational play resources, and even the Discovery Lab special.
Help us continue our mission by donating to our Direct Giving campaign this fall!
Some of the Foundation’s past projects include:
Durable playground markings
Enhanced learning opportunities, physical fitness, social/emotional intelligence, playground safety, and campus beautification - all in one project!
The Foundation was thrilled to provide this new feature for Dolvin. These vibrant, durable, nonslip markings are made of preformed thermoplastic, like what is used to stripe roadways and crosswalks. Phase 1 included hopscotch by multiples, foursquare & basketball courts, an activity track, “dance class” circles, standing long jump, and a conflict resolution circle - proven to reduce playground conflicts and referrals by half when used with proper training and guidance.
In Phase 2, we added a 100 chart complemented with blank number lines & ten frames; an oriented compass with analog clock; a US map; world map; and times table triangle!
Discovery Lab Special
The Foundation has funded the Discovery Lab Special since 2021. This incredible bi-weekly class encourages a love of science and all things STEM with fun, awe-inspiring experiments, demonstrations, and other activities for each grade. We are so happy to support this critical class!
Spirit Shirts for the entire school
Thanks to our amazing Sponsors, the Foundation has been able to provide over 1000 shirts to our students and staff this schoolyear and last. These beloved shirts are worn on field trips, Fun Run day, Field Day, and all throughout the year. Each grade gets its own color, which simplifies class management and safety at events and makes them a fun keepsake for families. Best of all - everyone gets one, at no cost to staff or families.
