Douglass Bridge The Gap is our annual direct give school fundraiser. Your dollars make a difference in bridging the gap between district funding and school needs!

We are requesting a donation of $300 per student. We encourage all to give whatever amount they can in order to reach 100% family participation.

Our students and staff rely on your generous donations to fund needed programs and supplies for the current school year, including:

--Two additional paraprofessionals salaries and benefits to ensure there is a paraprofessional for each grade, and allow for additional para hours in addition to district provided budget ($73,000)

--Cover lease of one copy machine for staff use ($5,200)

--Allow for additional technology licenses for accelerated reader and other software tools ($3,000)
