highest standard for which we strive at Armstrong, we ask that you review this
packageandconsiderdonatingtoArmstrong’sFamilyGivingCampaign.
Although there are other specific fundraising and underwriting opportunities
throughout the school year, the Armstrong Family Giving Campaign is the most
efficient and cost-effective way to support our school. The funds raised through
this program go into our general fund which is used to support our teacher
development, classroom technology, and day-to-day operating costs. Donating
at the beginning of the school year also allows us to plan and program for the
entireyear.
