Parent Pledge

Post author By LEAP
Post date March 18, 2022
Sticky post

Pledge today!

We ask that every family contributes something financially to enrich their child’s education. This type of donation is known as pledge because it is usually given as an automatic recurring monthly donation which is pledged by the family. Of course, pledge can be given annually or on a one time only basis.

Pledge directly supports your child’s education. Every dollar goes into our classrooms, and our parent groups decide how to spend the money. Enrichment activities like Spanish, music, art, garden, field trips and instructional classroom aides are all paid for with pledge

Parent pledge is the single most important part of our annual fundraising. How much should each family pledge? Truth is, any amount helps! This year, we are aiming for a high level of participation to support our shared value of community here at Lagunitas. Even $5 or $10 a month counts! Based on our annual budget, here are suggested pledge levels and what they cover:

Pledge Level A, $100 per month/$1200 per year: Level A covers the cost of art, music, Spanish, field trips, some aide time and other enrichment for one student over the course of one school year, it helps subsidize students whose families cannot afford to pledge and it funds LEAP’s administrative costs and long-term goals.

Pledge Level B, $70 per month/$840 per year: Level B covers the basic cost of art, music, Spanish, field trips, some aide time and other enrichment for one student in one school year, but does not cover organizational costs.

Pledge Level C, $40 per month/$480 per year: Level C covers some of the cost per student to fund art, music, Spanish, field trips, and other enrichment and is subsidized by Pledge Level A, plus donations, sponsorships, and events.

If you wish to make your pledge with a credit or debit card, please push the ‘DONATE’ button above! If you prefer to send a check, please send it to:

P.O. Box 268
San Geronimo CA 94963

A little pat on the back

Post date August 23, 2021

Back in May, we announced that a donor advised fund with the Marin Community Foundation would generously match all donations to LEAP dollar for dollar up to $10,000 until the end of the school year.

Thanks to YOU Lagunitas families, as well as generous local businesses and organizations, to date we raised over $20,000 ($10,000 of which will be matched!) for critical enrichment for all of our kids.

Thanks to you and our sponsors, we bridged our budget gap of $30K to continue to fund programs for our kids, including:

Spanish
Art
Music
Teacher aides
Teacher supplies
Field trips
Middle School P.E.

A heartfelt thanks goes out to everyone who donated towards this campaign and volunteered their time to help spread the word. It was a rough year, but we are heartened by our amazing community who rallied to ensure our kids get the best education possible. Thank you so much for helping us end the year strong!

As you know, LEAP bridges the gap where government funding falls short. We fundraise for the educational enrichment of all children in the Lagunitas School District. And remember, parents decide how to spend the money. So, we encourage you to get involved in the parent groups for Montessori, Open and Middle School, so your voice is heard.

How can LEAP support our kids during this pandemic? With distance learning and ongoing Zoom classes, educational enrichment becomes all the more needed! Art, movement, foreign language and all the rest of the programs LEAP supports are all the more important. Keeping some continuity with the in-classroom experience our kids love adds comfort and stability to their distance learning.
