The Foundation invests in your child’s success at Dickerson by:
-
funding the morning monitor which gives all students the option of 8:00 a.m. arrival to attend intramurals, clubs, and study/help sessions
-
purchasing classroom laptop computers
-
funding supplementary classroom materials such as Lego STEM kits
-
funding building improvements like re-carpeting the music rooms, refinishing the gym floor, and providing outdoor classroom and shades so the students can enjoy more outdoor time
-
investing in MI Write, IXL, and Progress Learning subscriptions
The Foundation allows Dickerson families and the community to invest directly into their students’ education.
The donations are tax deductible, and 100% of the funds raised go directly into key strategic investments for immediate impact.
