Bloom Twp Foundation Joins the #GivingTuesday Movement

As the holiday season nears, the Foundation thanks you for your support of the students of Bloom and Bloom Trail high schools throughout the year. We are thrilled to join thousands of organizations across the globe participating in Giving Tuesday on December 3rd, the largest giving day of the year. The Foundation has set a goal to raise $15,000 in just 24 hours. It will take a group effort to get there, but your donation can have an even bigger impact. A generous alumni donor has agreed to match the first $5,000 raised!

The dollars raised will support a number of worthy projects at Bloom and Bloom Trail High Schools including:

• Robotics Program – this newly formed club has achieved great success in a short time by placing 3rd out of 20+ teams in its first competition and qualified for State.
• Environmental Science Project – supporting the expansion of aquatic spaces, purchase of Vernier probes for lab experiments and groundwater exploration kits.
• SD 206 Band/Choir Project – the band and choir have experienced explosive growth over the last few years, nearly doubling in size. The band has marched in the at the Southside Irish Parade, the Chicago Thanksgiving Day Parade and will march in the parade again this year. They are scheduled to march in parades at Disney World in the Spring of 2020! Additional instruments and uniforms are needed for these expanding groups.
• Music Technology Project – for creating interactive sound and recording technology studios.
• Fine Arts Week 2020 – which exposes our students to various performances and workshops with different professional artists including singers, dancers, poets, acrylic portrait artists and graphic modelers.
• Track and Field Equipment Project – to purchase additional timing equipment and leader boards in Nelson Fieldhouse.
• Crane-Scheidler Family Scholarship – that provides a college scholarship to a graduating senior in memory of Thelma Werner Crane ’37.
• Shirley Kline Teacher Appreciation Award – endowed by the Kline Family to provide grants in recognition of our district’s outstanding teachers.
