Hi Raider Families,
You've seen us generally list what Raiders Rise supports throughout the year, but have you ever wondered where those contributions actually go? The PTO's goal is to supplement school funding, providing the items the budget doesn't cover, but that enrich our students' everyday experience. This fundraiser is FOR YOUR RAIDER and the staff and teachers spending over 7 hours a day with your student.
Here's a look at just some of the wish list items we were able to provide last year, made possible entirely by funds like yours (without this fundraiser, these items would not have been able to be purchased):
• Calculators
• New Electronic Hall Pass System to keep our Raider's safe
• Microwave & Carts for students
• Cameras and Lenses
• Day of Service Supplies and Snow Cones
• Educational Subscriptions
• Poetry Cafe Supplies
• Class Sets of Novels
• Medical Clinic Needed Supplies
• Campus Décor to Make BCMS feel even more welcoming
• AND MUCH MUCH MORE
Beyond classroom and campus needs, about a third of every dollar raised goes directly toward supporting our hardworking BCMS teachers and staff, through birthday celebrations, monthly staff meals, and small tokens of appreciation throughout the year. Our teachers put in long hours and give so much to our kids. It might seem like a small gesture, but it is so appreciated.
It takes a community to keep BCMS as special as it is. Now it's your chance to chip in.
Thank you for supporting Raiders Rise and BCMS! Your support funds EVERY RAIDER, EVERY DAY!
Warmly,
The BCMS PTO
