WHY?

As a charter school, our base operating per pupil allotment is lower than our neighboring public schools and, like Denver Public Schools, FASDenver is responsible for securing and funding its facilities - a cost that amounts to nearly $450k this year alone.

For this event, FASD has identified a $50,000 fundraising goal to:

Expand, retain, and better support our high-caliber teaching staff and fund the necessary visas for teachers from France and other Francophone countries.
Secure more of our unique curriculum materials for our growing student body, which come directly from France
Support enrichment programs and collaborations with neighboring institutions like the Denver Zoo and Museum of Nature and Science. We aspire to add a part-time visual arts teacher and provide sustained exposure to the arts.
Expand our facility to support growth and enhance classroom technology.
Enhance professional development in language immersion techniques for all our staff.
