Thanks to the support of parents and community members like you, both financially and in spirit, the Families for Stevenson Booster Association (FFS) has been able to provide quality arts education for each and every student at Stevenson.

During the last few years we have witnessed our children’s class sizes increase while programs continue to be cut.

Even successful public schools like ours are depending more and more on parent and donor contributions to preserve access to essential arts programs.

The librarian’s position is a excellent example of the challenges our school is facing.  Budget cuts would have drastically reduced the hours of our librarian. FFS’s support is preserving student library time, enabling them to access the wonderful stories and literature that foster a lifelong love of learning and reading.

We believe that arts education is crucial to the success of our children. Arts education leads the way to important everyday life skills such as creative problem solving, self-discovery, self-assurance, conflict resolution, and greater awareness of the world around us.

If every Stevenson family made a contribution, large or small, it would make a huge difference. For example a donation of $40 would cover the full cost of art and dance instruction for a Stevenson child for the 2011/2012 school year. But anything you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Please also consider talking to family members, friends and employers about making a donation to support FFS.

Donations are tax-deductible (Taxpayer ID# 56-2284271) and can be made online now. We also accept checks made payable to: Burbank Schools Booster Association Families for Stevenson.

FFS is extremely grateful to our parents who are willing to give their time, energy, and financial support, and we sincerely hope you will participate in this donation drive.
