Who Are we?

The Sprayberry Foundation was established to help bridge the gap between what public education offers and what a competitive, 21st-century education ideally should be. We are an all-volunteer organization that raises funds for the sole purpose of supporting and improving Sprayberry High School.  

 

School Foundations and the PTSA are governed differently with respect to how they raise and spend money. The PTSA, as a national organization, is bound by strict by-laws which dictate how fundraising is achieved and how funds are implemented into programs. The Foundation, on the other hand, operates as a 501c3 non-profit organization and can pursue as much fundraising as is necessary to help meet the identified needs of the students at Sprayberry. At Sprayberry, this means that the Foundation can operate with greater discretion over monies raised, with funding decisions guided by a Foundation Board made up of volunteer parents and community members who dedicate their time to raise funds to enrich your child’s education with input from teachers and from school administration.

Our Mission

In the past, parent involvement was characterized by volunteers, mostly mothers, assisting in the classroom, chaperoning students, and fundraising. Today, the old model has been replaced with a much more inclusive approach: school-family-community partnerships now include mothers and fathers, stepparents, grandparents, foster parents, other relatives and caregivers, business leaders and community groups–all participating in goal-oriented activities, at all grade levels, linked to student achievement and school success.

Our goals and dreams

Educating our children in the richness of their past, the diversity of their present and the possibilities for their future.
