GIVING UNITES US. GIVE TO THE MAX!

Dear Families and Friends of Math and Science Academy,

Our annual fund drive is upon us and we’re inviting you to participate. We have a big goal of raising $60,000 (about $100 per student) between now and November 19th and we can’t do it without you! We hope that you’ll choose to support MSA with a donation on Give to the Max Day or at any time during the 2021-2022 school year. Donations of all sizes will help us reach our goal.  

Why is MSA raising funds? As a public school, we receive a per pupil allocation of $6,946 from the state. This covers most, but not all, of our general expenses. Unlike traditional school districts, charter schools in Minnesota do not have the option to raise additional funds through tax levies. That is why we ask our stakeholders to consider making a donation to help us cover the costs of expenses to keep the quality of our program strong for all of our students.

How will my donation be used? Funds will be used for the items below in the following order:

Transportation for Extra-Curricular Activities:  With the shortage of bus drivers and the challenges of securing buses to transport our students to extra-curricular activities, Math and Science Academy is raising funds this year to purchase two - 15 passenger vans.  These vans would allow our activities the opportunity  to transport our students to and from events/games/etc. and not have to rely on parents to take off work, make other arrangements, or for our students to have to drive themselves.  They would also allow any and all students the opportunity to participate in activities where transportation have been obstacles in the past. The vans could also be used during the school day to transport students/staff to educational events.  MSA is hopeful to be able to offer this service to all our school community, and we hope that you will help us make this happen!

Help us raise $60,000 by November 19, 2022. Please show your support for MSA with a donation to help us reach our goal.

With thanks,

Randy Vetsch, Executive Director
