The BAM Giving Campaign
The Giving Campaign is BAM's core annual fundraiser to support the school's programs, teachers, and students. The Giving Campaign supports approximately 30% of the PTA's budget for 2021-22 and provides essential funds for the school. The PTA needs to raise $421 per child this year to cover all of the programs that help BAM students to thrive––arts enrichment, PE, science, gardening, math & literacy support, as well as library replenishment and technology upgrades.
Please consider making a gift of ANY AMOUNT during the campaign. You can make a one-time gift or monthly contributions. Our goal is 100% family participation!
Also, did you know that many employers offer to match charitable contributions made by their employees? It’s a great way to double and sometimes even triple your gift! Ask your employer if they offer a matching gift program.
The BAM PTA spends approximately $421 per student per year for teacher support, school events, P.E., the Arts, and so much more!

Mr. Hamilton, 2nd Grade Teacher
"The PTA supply budget last year was so crucial to making distance learning work and our return to in person possible! We were able to send home art supplies for each student that kept them going with exciting art projects all fall and winter. A drawing tablet helped me to demo math strategies easily on zoom. This past spring, I was able to purchase single desks that made it possible to safely space out the returning students 4 feet apart." |
