Why Save SPIRAL?

We are rallying together to Save SPIRAL!  Our goal is to raise $280,000 to be able to:

Keep SPIRAL with 9 teachers at Bendwood for 2025/2026- $250,000 costs

Run the booster club GATES which is supporting SPIRAL through providing supplies and teacher appreciation- $30,000 costs.

We have to have these funds raised by March 31^st!  We are asking families to donate $500 per student at SPIRAL.  This is simply a guideline and not a cap or fixed amount.  Last year, so many of our families were generous and gave more than the recommended amount.  We know SPIRAL stretches across the district and families with different socioeconomic status, please consider sponsoring an additional student or 2 if that is possible.  Our kids spend 20% of their school time at SPIRAL.  We believe it is worth supporting, whatever that means to you and your family!

The students and faculty of SPIRAL thank you for your support!
