Friends of Overland is:
A non-profit
organization
- Charter is to raise money to supplement the school budget.
- Each family is an automatic FOO member.
-
We have a Board of Directors and Officers who meet on the first Monday of each month, but all are encouraged to attend.
Our process for spending FOO money
- Our budget
for 2009-2010 is already approved.
- Budgets are developed by the principal with
input and review of administration, faculty, and parent leadership committees.
-
New funding requests are examined against our 2009-2010 commitments.
Fundraising
Activities
- Each year we raise money for the following year.
- FOO works with the administration and other parent groups to identify the financial needs for
next year.
- Our fundraising subcommittees are set.
-
We look for volunteers to help with our efforts.
- New fundraising ideas are examined
against current activities and the school schedule.
- Over the years, we have tried
to limit the number of fundraisers that involve the parents donating money and shifted our focus to include raising money
from outside sources, such as corporations and foundations.
- Parents are asked
to participate in two fundraisers per year: the Family Annual Donation campaign and the Annual Gala and Auction. We also ask
that Overland families enroll in free Scrip programs that generate funds for the school when people shop online and buy groceries.
