Fall Fund Drive: Treasure what you Treasure:
| |
What do all schools in Idaho have in common? Times have been tough financially. In fact state funding to schools has been cut by 19% over the past four years. Just this year a small percentage of that cut has been restored. But what is different about Anser and other charters from district schools? We have no mechanism to regain those funds that are cut through a levy vote. When Boise School District went to voters to ask them to restore education funding for Boise schools over 70% of households voted to raise their own taxes to support the students in their community. That is a powerful statement from the Boise Community in support of education! What if 70% of Anser families would put a "levy" on themselves by donating to the Fall Fund Drive? The Fall Fund drive is Anser's way to insure our programs are adequately funded and that our students get to have a great educational experience. We hope that you will join the many Anser families who already "voted for the Anser levy" by donating to the Fall Fund Drive today! Thank you to the following families who have contributed to the Fall Fund Drive: Sue Langley and Mark Zimmerer, Jill and James Harper, Meg Roberts and Mark Torf, Fred and Theresa Willerup and Jennifer Clayton (an Anser alum!).

| Reminder for Clarity Survey: | |
Thank you to the over 120 families who have completed the Clarity Technology survey! If you haven't completed the survey please do so right away. This 5 minute, anonymous survey was designed in such a way as to only allow the school to see results once we have received enough responses to have statistical significance. So we need your input! We are implementing this survey in order to understand how teachers, students and parents interact with technology. Gaining this knowledge will help us evaluate potential technology purchases and potential classroom technology usage. Please complete the survey by using this link and thank you for your input: www.BByt.es/KN8TP
