Educational Enhancement Fund

Money given to the Educational Enhancement Fund will be spent exclusively on materials and activities that enhance the students’ education. A list of these can be found below. The budgeted cost for these enhancements is $20,000. Rather than have students bring in money each time one of these events occurs, we are asking that parents, grandparents, and community members give to the Educational Enhancement Fund. If at the end of the year we have raised the necessary $20,000 then these activities and materials will be included again in the next year’s curriculum. If more than $20,000 is raised, the surplus will be held to pay for the enhancements the following year. The money raised for the Educational Enhancement Fund will be used exclusively for these budgeted items.

However, we ask that you also remember that on most days school happens in the classroom and not on a field trip. Just as we need funds for these enhancements, we also need support covering our day-to-day operational costs. This fund is a different fund which can be given to by directing your gift to “school contributions – unrestricted.”

The Bryn Athyn Church School is grateful for the many ways in which you support the school.
