*ENDS 10/16 MIDNIGHT* 🌟We’re investing in every child's potential at Maplewood, chasing our biggest direct-to-donor goal ever—$25,000—to fund what our kids and teachers need right now:<ul><li>Math Content Interventionists</li><li>Story Wranglers (every student benefits; 3rd grade gets extra sessions)</li><li>Teacher and Staff Appreciation (because we love our teachers and staff!)</li><li>Ms. Kirk's Special Counseling Programs and family services</li></ul><p style="font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">🌟Why now? Because the bills are due now.

Maplewood faces a $90k gap this year. These investments directly support student learning and help us maintain our “A” rating.<p style="font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%"> <p style="font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">2) How does fundraising impact academics? Targeted supports like Math Content Interventionists close reading/math gaps; Teacher Appreciation helps us attract and retain great educators.<p style="font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%"> <p style="font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">3) Maplewood is on the AISD consolidation list—why give at all? Because your child is here now. We need funds to support their academic growth this year. We are not investing in buildings; we’re prioritizing programs, teachers, and services that flow directly to students, especially those with the greatest needs. Every dollar keeps these supports in place this year.<p style="font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%"> <p style="font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;margin:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">4) I donated before—am I in the raffle?
