Fundraising - What We Pay For

Fundraising has become an inescapable part of sending our kids to public school in California.  The recent budget crisis in Sacramento means that we must deal with new funding cuts at the state and district levels.  Our fundraising efforts are now more important than ever.

The good news is that we have an active and concerned community of families here at Coeur d'Alene.  We donate both our money and our time to cover the gaps in our LAUSD funding.

The following sections contain some examples of what the Booster Club has funded in the past.
