The Foundation was formed at Blackwell to raise money for items not funded through the school budget. Our current goal is technology, in the form of SMARTboards for every classroom, although we hope to add other projects as we grow. The movie nights, silent auction at fall festival and chick-fil-a mornings have all been successful, although we need to do more. In these tough economic times, finding new sources of funding through grants is imperative. We would love to develop a team that can search for grant opportunities and prepare the necessary paperwork to apply for these grants.
We will meet on Tuesday, February 10th at 6pm in the Conference Room and on Tuesday, April 14th at 6pm as well.
Please contact me at hale620@bellsouth.net or 770-591-2057 if you are interested in helping.
Thanks very much,
