Learning Beyond the Classroom Contribution Drive

Wait! What?! No school fundraiser?!
No selling wrapping paper and candles to family and friends!?
That’s right!

The 2016-2017 K-5 Learning Beyond the Classroom Contribution Drive is Underway!

The Gorham K-5 schools recognize the importance of taking learning experiences beyond the walls of the classroom so that students can benefit from the rich resources within our community and region.
Learning Beyond the Classroom is our campaign to support field trips, experiences, visiting experts, guest artists, etc., which assist us in providing learning and wellness opportunities for our students that are of high interest and relevant to our curriculum.

Our contribution drive is a quick and direct way to donate to the learning beyond the classroom opportunities that your child will be experiencing throughout this school year. Great Falls Elementary School needs to raise a total of $10,000 in order to provide these opportunities for our students.

This contribution drive will replace our annual fall fundraiser. We are relying solely on parent donations to support our efforts.

We are asking for a $20.00 donation per student, but any amount is greatly appreciated!

Please make checks payable to Great Falls Elementary School and return to school by Monday, October 24th.

Thank you for contributing to our Learning Beyond the Classroom Drive!
