Thank you for your support!
Loyal Heights chooses to throw an auction each year because we believe in FUNdraising in addition to fundraising!
Ideally, fundraising would not be necessary, and all Washington children would receive a fully funded public education. Unfortunately, that is just not the case. In recent years, overall state funding for education has decreased from 50% down to 42%. With limited funding, the district has implemented an equity-tiered model to ensure that children/schools with a greater need receive more funding. As a result of the LHE economic make-up and test scores, we are in the bottom 20% of this funding model.
Your fundraising dollars pay for essential services including all LHE tutors, the math Instructional Assistant, a portion ofoffice staff, curriculum, family events such as Harvest Night, Math & Literacy nights, and the family dance, special education and neurodiversity programs, equity events, scholarships for field trips and activities, family supports, $500 in discretionary funds for each teacher, and much more!
Your support makes all the difference for the students & families of Loyal Heights Elementary. Thank you!
