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
-
providing water bottle filling stations and satellite clocks in the school hallways
-
funding building improvements like the outdoor classroom and shade so the students can enjoy more outdoor time
-
investing in MI Write and Membean 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.
