George Washington Night

As many of you know, Austin attends Entheos Expeditionary Learning, a local charter school. The founders of this school do not believe in “traditional” fundraisers like selling candy bars or wrapping paper door-to-door. One of the main reasons is because a large majority of this money goes to the company providing the “fundraiser” and only a very small portion goes to the school. As you may or may not know, charter schools are PUBLIC schools. We get our funding through state and federal money. We actually get less money per pupil than public schools located within districts. Therefore, it is still vital that we host fundraisers.

We have a fundraiser coming up this Friday night entitled, “An Evening with George Washington.” An actor comes dressed as George Washington and tells about his life and gives excerpts from famous speeches. I have never actually seen this performance, but he came highly recommended. The best part is, the actor only charges $150 and we get to use the rest of the money for the school! It should be a fabulous evening if anybody wants to attend.
