Dear Bear Creek Families,

Welcome to the premiere of the Adopt-A-Class Program. Lewis-Palmer School District is excited to introduce a new fundraising program for the school year 2010-2011. Bear Creek Elementary has been selected to be the first in the district to offer the Adopt-A-Class program. Teachers will receive 100% of the donation, and your donation is 100% tax deductible*. Teachers will use your donation for classroom enhancements like books, visual aids, manipulatives, and learning games.

Families, individuals, groups, and businesses may adopt a class, grade level, service, specials, or school. Donations can be combined to "adopt" at any level. Names of sponsors will be recognized in the school publications, school building, school website, and with a Certificate of Adoption.

To adopt a class, choose a teacher from the sponsor list and donate $165, the number of days in the school year. To adopt a grade, donate $250. Also, to adopt a school building, donate $365, a dollar a day. Please check with the school, grade, or teacher for specific information on how your donation will be used.

The goal of this program is to aid the teachers that work so hard for our children. On average, teachers spend $443 out of their own pocket for their classrooms annually. Let's support our outstanding teachers at Bear Creek Elementary. We can make our first year at Bear Creek Elementary a memorable one with all teachers being adopted!  

Other districts that have an Adopt-A-Class program have been delighted with the program's success!

Please make an adoption and support the future of our children! Adoptions can be made on line for credit card payments and by check or cash at Bear Creek Elementary.

Please contact me with any questions. Thank you for your support.
