Fundraising
Why We Raise Money
GHSC is responsible for funding SIX major educational programs for Guadalupe’s students, which fall outside the district and state budget. By funding Art Vistas, Ceramics, Project Cornerstone, and Starting Arts, our students can experience art, music, STEAM, and physical education. The majority of our yearly budget goes directly to fund these essential programs.
GHSC also hosts multiple community events throughout the year to bring Guadalupe families together. We kick off each year with the Ice Cream Social in the fall, the Winterfest event to celebrate reading in early December, the School Carnival & Art Vistas Show in the spring, and a family picnic.
Classroom Giving Drive
The classroom giving drive is held at the beginning of school and is entirely separate from the GHSC budget. Money raised from the classroom giving drive funds field trips and classroom spending that is specific to YOUR child’s class. A small portion also supports these school-wide programs: the STEAM Lab, Safety Patrol, Mileage Club, special assemblies, and extra books for the Library. You can make a Giving Drive donation now on GHSC TOOLKIT. For more detailed information on your Classroom Giving Drive amount, click on the grade listed below.
Walkathon
GHSC hosts the annual Guadalupe WALKATHON and helps raise THE LARGEST portion of our annual budget. We look to students and their families to fundraise among family, friends, and out in the community via email, social media, or simply knocking on doors to ask for simple donations.
