FUNDRAISING DOLLARS AT WORK
Some highlights of how fundraising dollars are used to benefit the Batch staff and students.
Playground Improvements
In summer 2025, BPO funds upgraded the playground with updated landscaping and fresh mulch! This update not only gives the playground a clean, refreshed look, but also ensures a safer play area for all of our students.
In summer 2026, BPO fundraising efforts expanded the playground with a new climbing structure, gaga ball pit, and freshly paved hot top!
Upgraded AV in the Gymnasium
In summer 2026, the BPO was able to fund a brand new, upgraded AV system in the gymnasium, for students and teachers to use for our assemblies and programs!
Large Format Printer
Purchased with money raised in the Fun Run, will support STEAM education and allow teachers to incorporate digital art into their program. Students can learn to use online graphic design tools to
create posters showing what they've learned in different areas of the curriculum. Teachers can also
use this poster printer to create visual aids and anchor charts to display in their classrooms.
Health Office
Nurse Reska needed new curtains, a wheelchair and microwave for the nurses office and thanks
to the generous families at the Batch, the BPO purchased everything she asked for!
Water Fountain
In 2024, the BPO funded a new water fountain with reusable bottle filler for students to use in the cafeteria.
Classroom Clocks
In 2023, the BPO paid $15,000 to replace all of the classroom clocks!
