Today kicks off the Foundation Parent May Campaign! Throughout the month, parents who have not had a chance to contribute will be hearing from their class representatives asking them to support the Governor's School Foundation Annual Fund!
We still need to raise more than $115,000 before June 30 in order to provide the same level of enhancements next year! These funds are essential in providing teacher professional development and continuing education, academic enhancements, upgraded technology, and assistance for students in financial need.
Every year parents from each class compete for the greatest percentage of participation. The competition is neck and neck. Help your child's class land on top! Current parent participation is as follows:
Senior parents (2019) 32%
Junior Parents (2020) 30%
Sophomore parents (2021) 30%
Freshman Parents (2022) 32%
We look forward to all that we can accomplish together for MLWGS!
