The end of the calendar year is fast approaching. If you are looking for that last end-of-the-year tax deduction, the Brookwood Schools Foundation is the perfect place. All contributions help fund projects right here in each of the cluster schools. In previous years, technology upgrades like interactive White Boards at the high school, integrated curriculum reading projects at both the elementary/middle schools, and software for art technology have been funded with over $123,000 of contributions from people right here in the community. The Foundation is managed by a group of local volunteers as a 501c3 corporation.
Contributions can be dropped off in the main office at any one of the cluster's schools. Please place checks in an envelope marked Brookwood Cluster Foundation. |
