Linne Community — we need your help to protect the in-school enrichment programs our students know and love.

Culinary Arts. Joffrey Ballet. Musical Theatre. Jazz Philharmonic. Hip Hop Dance. Music. Every Linné student — not just the ones who can afford private lessons — gets access to unparalleled arts instruction as part of their school day. Ask any Linné parent what makes this school different, and this is almost always near the top of the list.

Running these programs costs Linné more than $100,000 a year, and CPS's budget no longer covers the full cost. So this year, we're doing something new. We're launching the Linné Arts Fund, an annual giving campaign, with a goal of $50,000 to help with this year's gap. Keeping these programs running is something we - Linné parents, grandparents, families, and neighbors - take on together, every year. When we invest in all kids, our community wins.

Whether you can give $5 or $5,000, you're investing directly in the programs our kids walk into every week. This is the start of a tradition, not a one-time rescue. As funding needs change, our goal will grow, so that Linné's arts programs stay strong, powered by our community.

Many employers match charitable donations dollar for dollar (or more) — check with your HR department to see if your gift to the Linné Arts Fund qualifies. It's an easy way to double your impact at no extra cost to you.

Please share this Fine Arts Fund campaign link with family, friends, and anyone who believes in arts programming for public schools. Thank you in advance for your support.
