Count Me In for the Travel Fund
CMI is TBS’s Spring 2018 fundraising initiative in support of our strategic focus on academic excellence. The goal is to increase access to teacher-requested resources (people, materials, and experiences) that will augment student experiences in and out of the classroom and ensure even more meaningful learning for students at all levels: ECC, K-5, and Middle School.
Our teachers work hard to create engaging, rigorous learning experiences, rooted in civic engagement, that build a strong foundation for future academic and social-emotional development in all students. Will you join us with your gift for these student resources?
Your Gift Could
Open opportunities for new and enhanced student experiences by funding new trips at each grade level, expanding existing ones, and establishing a travel fund to get our students where their learning takes them. This fund would get our students out and about by coach. We would reduce the dependency on family drivers and reallocate teacher and staff time from driver logistics.
