Bancroft Dollar - A - Day Giving Campaign
Welcome new and returning families to another exciting school year! This marks the 9th year for Bancroft’s Annual “Dollar-A-Day” (D-A-D) campaign, our biggest and most important fundraising initiative of the year. We are very grateful for your past support and hope to continue to grow participation in this vital campaign this year.
What is the Bancroft Dollar-A-Day Campaign?The Bancroft Dollar-A-Day Campaign helps fill the financial gap caused by state budget cuts to education. California continues to lag behind the national average in per-pupil funding, ranking 41st among all states after adjusting for cost of living. California also ranks dead last in number of students per teacher, with the largest class sizes in the country, and ranks dead last in the number of counselors and librarians in our schools. To help overcome these statistics we rely on your contributions and request $365 per family for the D-A-D campaign at the start of the school year to jump start our fundraising.
In addition to the Dollar-A-Day campaign, the PFC also asks for “Excellence in Education” support in the amount of $125 per child. The D-A-D contributions help us bridge the basic gaps in our state funding, and Education in Excellence funds the supplemental programs that would more traditionally be supported by a PFC. Together, these campaigns, along with other PFC initiatives, allow our students to continue to receive the best education possible despite the challenges of state funding.
Your Contribution Counts
We are asking every Bancroft family to support our school by making a donation. A successful campaign will allow us to fund Instructional Assistants at every grade level, two site-techs to assist our teachers with their use of technology in the classroom, our wonderful garden educator, extended open library times, our STEAM lab, and much more!
Your Support Matters
Your support sends a clear message. To teachers and administration, it says you value and endorse their efforts to continue to make Bancroft an exceptional learning environment for our children. To our community, parent support demonstrates that we value the educational experience and the people and programs that make it so special. And to the companies we approach for outside donations, your support means they are partnering with an engaged and involved parent community.
Every family. Every dollar. Every child.Our goal this year is 100% participation by Bancroft families. We know every family situation is different, and we encourage every family to participate regardless of the dollar amount. No amount is too small and every dollar makes a difference! This is our opportunity as parents to directly influence the quality of education our children receive this year.
