Back the Pack

Back the Pack is Bethany Community School’s largest fundraiser, directing all donations into our Annual Fund to support vital school programs, resources, and facility improvements. This initiative brings together local businesses, families, and community members to help bridge essential funding gaps. Every contribution to Back the Pack directly benefits our students, providing them with enhanced learning opportunities and a supportive environment where they can thrive. Thank you for helping us build a stronger, more vibrant school community!

As a charter school, Bethany Community School does not receive local bond funds, state funding for facilities, or contributions from the NC Education Lottery. This means our school operates with approximately 73% of the funding allocated to neighboring district schools. Donations are essential in helping us bridge this gap, allowing us to provide our students with high-quality programs, facilities, and resources they need to thrive.

A: Our goal is to raise $30,000 with 100% participation from Bethany Community School families, faculty, and staff. Full participation sends a powerful message:

• It tells our students that we are committed to providing them with the best educational opportunities.

• It tells our teachers and staff that their dedication is valued.

• It shows our community that we are fully invested in the school’s success.

• It demonstrates to investors and donors that we are serious about supporting the growth and future of Bethany Community School.

Every contribution, regardless of the amount, helps us reach our goal and strengthens our community!

A: The Back the Pack Annual Fund allows Bethany Community School to maintain small class sizes while continuing to offer an exceptional educational experience. Gifts from parents, grandparents, alumni families, faculty, staff, businesses, and friends directly impact the current year’s operating budget and provide crucial financial support. Your donations help fund:

• Classroom resources for both teachers and students
• Funding and support for field trips
• Campus improvements, such as the courtyard and building maintenance
