MARY WALTER ELEMENTARY 5th GRADE TRIP
Mary Walter Elementary is seeking your support to sponsor students to attend their 5th grade trip to the Baltimore Aquarium. For some students, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit the magnificent aquarium and experience first-hand what they are learning in the classroom. 5th grade students study oceans, adaptations, habitats, resources, weather and more as they prepare for the Standards of Learning (SOL) test.
Mary Walter Elementary is a Title 1 school with over 50% of students on free/reduced lunch. The Fauquier Excellence in Education Foundation is accepting donations that will sponsor children to attend and help families in need. The cost is $40 per student and we want to raise $3,100 so that every 5th grader can attend.

OTHER FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
High School After-Prom Parties and Southeastern Graduation Event - We are proud to support Fauquier, Kettle Run and Liberty high schools in their effort to give teens a safe, sober and fun event after Prom. These free teen-appropriate events rely on donations to provide entertainment, food, drinks and prizes. We equally support Southeastern Alternative School with their graduation party to give students a special send-off and celebration.
My First Book Club -Designed for at-risk preschool students to improve literacy, develop a love of reading and promote peer interaction, our goal is to increase participation to 225 students by including Head Start. Each month students receive a new book for classroom and at home reading. Teachers set goals for individual reading skills and read together in a group setting. Students receive book bins to take home to build their first home library. For an annual donation, you can give a child a new book every month, including a Holiday gift and two books for the summer.
School Lunch Debt - Your gift will directly impact those families who are in need. Currently, the overall Fauquier County Public School lunch debt is near $48,000 but those numbers ebb and flow as parents reconcile their accounts. The Fauquier County Public Schools nutrition program is self-sustaining funded through federal reimbursements and sales revenue.
Educator Grants - For 30 years the Foundation has provided grants to dedicated Fauquier County public school teachers, educators and administrators to enable them to participate in high-quality professional development that impacts their classroom teaching. These funds support participation in experiences such as conferences, seminars, research, cultural programs and summer institutes. These grants cover registration fees, travel, course materials and other related costs. For many teachers, they could not participate without this financial support.
STEM Summer Camps -We are proud to support summer camps for students in Fauquier County Public Schools. It is through donations and grants that we are able to keep these camps affordable for families, offer scholarships, provide transportation, and purchase additional materials to keep students engaged and challenged.
