Why do we have to raise money?
A school budget is similar to your own budget at home. We have sources of income and expenses. Like all public schools,
CWC Silver Lake receives funds from the state and federal government, however, California’s funding for each student
ranking near the bottom of the nation. These funds cover only the bare minimum, so we rely on fundraising to cover the
additional resources we all believe are essential to a great education.
Where does the money go?

Description
Cost
Facilities
Finding a new facility for a school costs money. We are seeking to save at least
$50,000 this school year to support costs ranging from hiring contractors and building
consultants, to saving money for a down payment.
$50,000
Social
Emotional
Learning
Preparing our students for the challenges of the 21st century means teaching them
the social-emotional skills necessary to navigate an ever-changing landscape. With
a new Social Emotional Lead Coordinator, enhanced social emotional curriculum,
and support staff it will cost $55,000.
$55,000
Whole Child
We believe in educating the whole child with weekly classes in art, music, Spanish,
and P.E. We further enhance our students understanding of the world around them
with field trips. These programs will cost $124,000.
$124,000
Small Student
Teacher Ratio
Our Teaching Associates allow us to offer a low student-to-teacher ratio in every
classroom. Half our Teaching Associate program is covered by public funds, but the
other half of our Teaching Associate program will cost $273,000.
$273,000
Staff Support
Continuous development of our teachers ensures that our students benefit from the
best educators, and that our teachers feel supported. Providing our teachers with
training and tools for their classrooms will cost $38,000.
$38,000
Total Annual Fundraising Goal: $540,000
But wait, the Annual Family Give goal is only $278,000?
We offer other giving opportunities through out the year to raise the remaining $262,000, recognizing that families like to give
in a variety of ways. In November, we will have our student’s favorite event, the Walkathon, and later in the year we will
have a celebration at our Spring Bash complete with a Raffle, Auction, and sign up parties. However, Annual Family Give is
our largest fundraiser. Your participation is essential as it demonstrates the commitment of our families (rate of participation
is often one of the first questions asked by outside funders).
