Anacortes Schools Foundation collects donations for projects other than our scholarships. Here are several opportunities to make a tax-deductible donation to help our school kids. ASF assigns your full donation to the project you designate. We do not collect any administrative funds. Our schools are looking for donations to help purchase items that haven’t been funded in the tightened school district budget. The projects that still need funding range from display cases to field trips to community service projects designed by students. Library Card for Teachers The ASF is seeking donations to fund library cards for our district teachers who live outside the boundaries of any city library district. These cards cost $60 each for a 9-month library card, which entitles the bearer to full benefits available at the Anacortes Public Library. Some other school districts fund such benefits for their teachers; Anacortes School District has had to seek funding for this effort from other sources. Early Learning Want to donate to Anacortes's Early Learning Fund? School Project Funding The Anacortes Schools Foundation facilitates individual and group donations, provides receipts for tax-deductible donations and sends 100% of the donation to the project requested by the donor. Anacortes High School teachers have requested funds to purchase display cases for student physics and drafting projects, a trip to see a Seattle Repertory production of “Crime and Punishment,” and paper and ink to produce and display student photos of local senior citizens. Fidalgo Elementary School requests include musical instruments, after-school study club trained and paid staff, and materials to make fleece blankets for the opening of the Anacortes Homeless Shelter. Island View Elementary School is hoping to receive funding for compound microscopes, drums and keyboards for music team-building and community performance, and book libraries to serve two classrooms. Whitney Pre-School needs plant supplies for spring gardening projects, an evening family literacy program and science enhancement projects. The cost of these projects ranges from less than $200 up to $1000. Some contributors are joining with friends to honor a friend or an occasion. |
