Similar to high school, where we’re told both to increase rigor and to achieve our district goal of 98% graduation rate. Kinda hard to do both at the same time with no additional resources.

Donated! And I just wanna say that I really appreciate that you do this every year.

And the per-donor matchers will be adding at least +$17,928 to that total 💪💪

But there's more to go! Many of the donor-matchers don't cap out until we hit 500 ppl -- and that means we need ~168 more folks on board by 11:59pm PST Friday! 😆

Every donor triggers +$54 in matcher donations! Plus a 2x!
