The Bollinger Canyon BulldogFund is a non-profit entity dedicated to raising funds, through the collaboration of parents, educators and the community, to maintain and enhance the quality of education at Bollinger Canyon Elementary School. The Bulldog Fund board oversees the fundraising and works with the administration and teachers to determine how the money raised will be allocated.

Bulldog Fund has pledged $207,000 for the 2018/19 School Year

What does the Bulldog Fund pay for?

The money raised pays or expands programs and resources that are an important part of elementary education, but are not paid for by the district and/or State. For 2019/20, the Bulldog Fund will commit $207,000 to pay salaries and support for the following programs:

Program	Description
Classroom / teacher support	Our Para Professionals work directly with students in the classroom. They provide one on one, or small group instruction. Our teachers rely on Para Professional support to meet the needs of all students in the classroom.
Art	Our art program provides direct instruction in the classroom. Miss Tess makes art projects come alive with her creative and engaging approach! Miss Tess visits all classes K-4^th grade once a month throughout the year. 5^th grade receives Clay Art with Miss Bonnie for a 12 week session at the beginning of the school year and will have Miss Tess in the Spring.
Library	Our librarian maintains and oversees the general operation of Bollinger’s literary center! She provides all students with an enriching reading experience! Our librarian supports student reading in many different ways! Children are given the weekly opportunity to check out books, listen to selected read-aloud texts, and learn library research skills. Each class room, kindergarten through 5^th grade, including our Special Day Classes, gets at least one half hour per week in the library. The district funds half or the librarian position so without the Bulldog Fund support, classes would only be able to visit the library once every two weeks.
Rainbow Room	Primary Intervention program Increases a sense of safety and cohesiveness among all students at school Bulldog Fund pays 20% of the Rainbow budget
Music	Every child in 1^st – 5^th grade gets a chance to participate in a musical performance on stage for family and friends! Bingo Schmingo, a music and rhythm program is available for our kindergarten students. Every 3rd grader receives Recorder lessons. After-school chorus for all students in grades 4th and 5th.
Computer Lab	Our computer teacher meets weekly with all students, ½ hour K-2, and 45 minutes 3^rd thru 5^th grade. She provides important instruction from the basics of keyboarding, to the intricate work of creating a power point presentation. She introduces the concept of computer programming during the Hour of Code. She also coordinates the common core SBAC testing.
Misc.	Additional noon duty person Updated sound equipment for the MPR
