The
Outdoor Education Foundation of Stanislaus
County
In common with
the economy, the cost of the Outdoor Education
program at Foothill
Horizons has risen and financial help is needed
to provide reduced costs for
all students. To assist with the solution to
this problem, the Stanislaus County
Superintendent of Schools has established the
Stanislaus County Outdoor Education
Foundation.
The Foundation receives donations from students,
parents, teachers, community
organizations, corporations, and governmental
agencies. The money received from
these donations is placed in the Foundation and
the interest obtained is used to reduce
Outdoor Education costs.
Advisory and corporate committees have been
appointed to help reach the Foundation
goal of 1.5 million dollars, from which $150,000
in interest could be gained annually to
reduce the cost to students. As we proceed
towards this goal, the following will become
reality:
* decreased cost of the Foothill Horizons
program
* fewer children will be denied the educational
opportunities
of Outdoor School, and the number of students
that attend
Foothill Horizons will increase
* guaranteed continuance of the Outdoor
Education program
* a decrease in the need for local fund raising
activities
* a decrease in time spent by school personnel
in raising funds
You can help
children in Stanislaus County experience Outdoor
Education by
contributing to the Stanislaus County Outdoor
Education Foundation. All contributions
are tax exempt. Checks may be written to:

Stanislaus County
