Help Us Fund the Programs Our Kids Rely On
We’ve raised 34% of our $50,000 goal so far — thank you to those who have contributed!
At other schools in our area, families contribute anywhere from $450 to $2,500 per student each year through their PTAs. At Bay Farm, we stretch every dollar to fund more than $300 per student in programs, events, and support that make our school special, including reading and math services, classroom enrichment, and the Environmental Science and Garden program.
Every contribution counts, no matter the size. Together, we can make sure every student continues to benefit from these programs.
Learn about all the ways to donate on our website. Don't forget to check on your employer matching programs!
