Foundation Facts


Bergeson Elementary School Foundation’s mission is to 
generate and provide financial support and enrichment to the school's academic, social and individual developmental curriculums and programs.

For 2012-2013 BESF already funded:
Kindergarten-Third grade music (

Classroom Computers (

BESF meets with Principal Scholl to continually re-evaluate the needs of the school and our children.  When new opportunities and needs arise, The Foundation is there.
How do we do this?
Our Board of 12 parents plan fundraisers throughout the year

Membership: We ask every family to join BESF with a tax deductible donation.  All of the money goes toward educational programs. We ask that families join the 180 CLUB, $180 per child, per year to ensure the continued academic success of Bergeson Elementary.  We also seek corporate sponsorships.

Silent Auction: Once a year we host a wonderful evening with fantastic items to purchase.  Look for details of this year's event.

Footprint Fridays: Turn your trash into Cash.  Our Green team collects your CRV plastic bottles and aluminum cans every Friday.  Last year we raised 
$4000.00

Ralph's Community Rewards: Use your Ralph's card to earn money for the school.  Every September you need to sign up.  After that, every time you shop at a Ralph's Grocery Store nationwide we earn money.  Last year we raised over $8000.00
 
Dine-outsOnce a month a local restaurant gives us 20% of the night's proceeds

Scrip:  Buy gifts to all of the stores you shop.  We earn a percentage of every gift card you purchase.  You do NOT pay any service fees.
