As a private, non-profit school, Brookview depends upon tuition, grants, and fundraisers to sustain its programs and services. As a parent, alum, family member, or friend, please consider the following opportunities for participation in support of the vision and mission of Brookview School. When each family is involved in the development of the school, our school community strengthens; together we provide our children with the best possible education.
Annual Fund
The Annual Fund is a once-a-year campaign. Everyone is asked to contribute so that we may provide unique and exceptional educational experiences for each child. The Annual Fund helps make up the difference between income from tuition and what it actually costs to operate the school. The Annual Fund is necessary because it helps reduce future tuition increases, continues the tuition assistance program, attends to the unexpected building and grounds issues, and supports classroom programs through the purchase of books, instruments, and multimedia technology. Our goal is to have every Brookview family give to the Annual Fund to their full potential.
Annual Auction
An evening of celebration and fun! Each year the Brookview community hosts an annual auction to raise funds in support of our Tuition Assistance and classroom programs. Brookview is committed to ensuring an economically, socially diverse learning environment – one reflective of the world around us. Parents and friends are asked to participate on committees such as acquisitions, various aspects of event management, marketing, finance, and post auction processing. All members of the community are encouraged to donate an item or service. But most importantly, everyone is encouraged to attend one of the most festive, community–building events of the year in celebration of our children.
Special Projects/Sponsorships
Periodically a parent or friend of Brookview will sponsor a project or capital purchase for the benefit of the school. Examples of these gifts of generosity are: new maple coat and book bag area for the Upper Elementary students, 5 new computers, and a sponsorship of an additional foreign language instructor. If you are interested in contributing in this way, please contact the Head of School for ideas and/or coordination of the gift you have identified.
Online Buyers Program
Coming soon! You can contribute to Brookview without leaving your chair - a purchasing program that reimburses Brookview a percentage of the cost of your online purchases. With a link that can be downloaded to your desktop, you can conveniently shop at over 1000 stores!
Purchasing Programs
Brookview School is registered with 2 local grocery stores - Meijer’s and Martins. After you register with them and identify Brookview as your benefactor, the school will receive a portion of the cost of your purchases either as cash back or as a system of points which we then use to purchase school or office supplies.
Volunteerism
Many hands make light work! Our children benefit greatly from the talent and expertise of Brookview family and friends. Every family is expected to participate in volunteer activities at the school. Please consider helping with an auction committee, building maintenance, planning or organizing social events, or in the office, library or classroom. By volunteering, you model the importance of contributing to the larger community, an important part of your child’s classroom experience.
