What it reported doing in 2024

The organization operated a Spirit Wear Program to promote school spirit, strengthen the Woodcrest Elementary community, and support activities that enhance the educational environment. The program's objective during the tax year was to make school-branded apparel accessible to students and families while generating funds for student enrichment. The long-term goal of the program is to foster a consistent sense of belonging among students. An example of this is providing branded water bottles to the incoming kindergarten class of 100 students to help them feel like they belong at the school and to get excited for kindergarten. During the year, the organization coordinated the selection, ordering, and distribution of spirit wear items such as T-shirts, sweatshirts, and seasonal apparel. Volunteers managed all aspects of the program, including vendor communication, inventory review, and delivery logistics. Approximately 450-500 students and family members participated in at least one spirit wear purchase or distribution cycle. The organization conducted two major sales periods and several smaller fulfillment events throughout the school year. Spirit wear was worn during school events, assemblies, field trips, and community activities, helping to build a shared identity among students. The program also ensured that spirit wear was available at reduced or no cost for families experiencing financial hardship. Net proceeds from spirit wear sales were used to support educational opportunities and school traditions not funded by the district budget. These included classroom materials, enrichment activities, and family engagement events that benefit the entire student body. By operating this program, the organization advanced its mission to promote student welfare, encourage school spirit, and strengthen cooperation between families, teachers, staff, and school administration
