Why support Ocean Shore School Annual Fund with direct donations?
As a public school, Ocean Shore School receives state and local funding that covers most of our basic needs. Everything above that—everything that makes OSS so special—comes from our community. Ocean Shore School provides our children with unique, experiential learning opportunities that require funding not provided by the school district. It’s what makes us US! While our mission remains the same, this year is anything but. We recognize the impact of COVID-19 on our families and local businesses. The focus of our fundraising efforts this year will be on activities that promote connections between students, parents, teachers, staff, and our community.
The Annual Fund is where our community gets to shine and show our collective spirit of generosity. Just as important as how much money we raise is that each family participates in whatever way is meaningful to them (donating time, money, resources, etc). Getting as close to 100% participation as possible is a core goal of the Annual Fund.
The impact of donating your time is often easy to see: volunteers in the classroom, drivers on field trips, Theme Days, Pod Days, Book Fair, etc. The impact of donations received through our fundraising efforts may not seem as obvious. This visual gives a brief snapshot of where the money raised by parents through various fundraisers is put to use to enhance your child’s experience at OSS.
