Teach Boosters is a parent-led, not-for-profit organization. Our mission is two-fold: community-building to foster a welcoming environment for all Teach families and fundraising to support the enrichment programs unique to Teach Elementary, where students love learning and choose the challenge of accelerated academics.
All parents and legal guardians of current Teach students are members of Teach Boosters! There are no membership forms to fill out and no membership dues.
Governance: In accordance with the Bylaws, Board Officer & Member nominations are held in March and elections are held in April for terms effective July 1-June 30 for the following school year.

Teach Booster Board Meetings will be reflected in the Teach School calendar.
PROGRAMS
These extraordinary opportunities of discovery and learning during overnight study trips to Catalina Island Marine Institute (6th), Yosemite or AstroCamp (5th) and Camp Ocean Pines (4th), Innovation & Exploration Initiative projects, celebrating the creative arts (artist-in-residence, 6th grade play, Walk through History for all grade levels), day field trips, and more are estimated to cost $133,000 or approximately $900 per student.
 |
| In Spring 2016, 93% of Teach School parents surveyed agree that these trips are worthwhile enrichment experiences for their children. |
The ability for the Boosters to provide these programs at ~$130,000 annually is contingent upon the success of the Tiger Challenge donations and fundraisers during the school year.
SUPPORT
Teach Boosters is committed to providing the above programs for all our students. The programs are funded by voluntary donations and fundraisers. Boosters rely on Tiger Challenge donations as the primary funding source for the programs, because traditional school-wide fundraisers for our small school (5 classrooms) do not generate as much funding as those of larger schools.
We gratefully accept donations via check payable to "Teach Boosters" at Teach School office or via online donations at the Teach Booster store which has 2.5% handling fee to cover ecommerce costs.
- These donations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law as Teach Boosters is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit Federal Tax ID# 77-0384261. Consult your tax advisor for specific details.
- Corporate Matching can double your donations! Does your employer match your donations to not-for-profits like us? A partial list of companies that match can be found here or searchable here. Find out from your Human Resources/ Benefits department!
Other ways to support our school are listed here.
VOLUNTEERS
The high level of parent involvement at Teach is one of the strengths of our school, and we are eager for you join in the fun! Your involvement helps Teach School make a profound, positive impact on our students as they grow intellectually, socially, emotionally, and creatively and as they develop into future contributors to our diverse, global community.

THANK YOU
Thank you for being a part of our wonderful Teach School community. We -- especially our students -- are grateful for your volunteer time and financial support. We could not provide these formative educational experiences for our students without you.
