Mission
The Bryant School Foundation is dedicated to supporting the education and well-being of Bryant Elementary School’s students.
History
Two school
volunteers and an administrator established the Foundation in the
spring of 2003 to secure financial support for a student services
professional whose funding was about to expire. When that crisis
passed we realized that a non-profit organization could bring in a
variety of resources to provide a broader, higher quality education to
Bryant’s students.
Today the
Foundation has a five-person board of directors with representatives
from the school’s teaching staff, its parents, volunteers and local
business leaders. Participation is strictly on a volunteer basis,
letting nearly every dollar we raise go to support the Foundation’s
mission.
