Donations
The $5 for the Future campaign will kick off at the beginning of school this year. Those of you who elect to make dedicated payroll deductions to Alvord Educational Foundation make it possible for us to continue to support programs, individual teachers, and scholarships. We in education know the many hard decisions that are made as districts continue to cut back funding to very worthy activities. We are proud to be able to play a part in finding sources to maintain established activities and bring some innovative ideas forward. One time contributions are always welcome. |
