Teacher Tribute Program
This program is a wonderful way to show appreciation of
the hard work and dedication of
teachers and staff while also supporting the educational
opportunities not otherwise available to our children through the school's budget.
Contributions made in honor of a special teacher or staff member go directly to
the schools to support the Mini-grant Program.
Donations to this program are recognized in the district's newsletter.

Annual Campaign
The Foundation seeks funding for major project awards on
an annual basis. Major projects typically impact a wider student population
than mini-grants and have
the potential of benefiting the entire school community.
Donations made to these major projects are recognized
annually at the Foundation's Donor Reception. A gift of original artwork created by a
Brittonkill student is offered as a gift to these generous donors. The names of donors
appear on a plaque displayed at the entrance to the school district's auditorium.
Selection of major fundraising projects for the upcoming year is made
at the regular meeting in February and announced to the community at the Foundation's
annual Donor Reception.
