Support FOBHE This and End-of-Year Giving! ❤️🙏 https://donorbox.org/support-bret-harte-elementary

With stories of shortfalls, cuts, and uncertainty around funding, Friends of Bret Harte Elementary (FOBHE) stands for stability, enrichment, and opportunity for South Side students.
Thanks to supporters and neighbors like you, FOBHE was recently able to achieve the
following:
- Fully fund Spanish language instruction for all students and all grade levels in support of our newly arrived migrant community!
- Fulfill teacher purchase requests like assessments for special education students, a math curriculum tool that turns lessons into games and tracks student progress, and imaginative play items for early childhood classrooms.
- Send eighth grade students on a field trip to Google in downtown Chicago for a day of technology exploration and career inspiration.
- Hire a local artist to collaborate with Bret Harte students to design and paint a 60-foot mural inside the school’s main hallway. The final design incorporates students’ drawings and the special traditions that make Bret Harte unique.

These opportunities and many more provide the backbone of a child’s education and experience and they were only possible through the support of neighbors and friends like you. Your gift will bridge the gap between the CPS budget and lasting outcomes for these children – in the classroom and beyond. We hope that you will stand with us to support Bret Harte students through any budget challenges and not allow a lack of funding to get in the way of their education.
