Financial Update Last year (05-06) was a record breaking year of fundraising activities. Net of expenses, our association raised over $135,000. This far exceeded our budgeted contribution of $100,000. While the main focus has been our financial commitment to the air conditioning project, we still contributed over $46,000 to various programs we support at the school. These include direct contributions to our teachers for classroom enhancements, the art program, technology improvements, and assemblies. Last year, we contributed $180,000 towards the air conditioning project. This represented a major portion of our estimated commitment of $230. This leaves our estimated future commitment of $50,000. With continued success of our fundraising efforts, we plan to fulfill our commitment within the next two years. We begin the year with a net worth of over $65,000. We have set aside $35,000 of that to save for both future budgetary needs of the school as well as funding of our air conditioning project. The rest will be used for upfront operating costs of this year’s fundraisers. |
