This page provides the opportunity to give to parent and booster organizations and the District 214 Education Foundation, all of which support our students in unique and life-changing ways.
Most giving will flow through the Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization, and you will be sent an automatic receipt and thank-you. Please check your Spam file if you do not receive it.
Your support is significant, and provides tangible opportunities for our students in athletics, the fine and performing arts and academics. Note you can give to more than one cause; simply click the “back” button on your browser after making your gift and click the next link.

CAP+S
The Choral Association of Parents & Students is our parent booster group. All families are asked to become members to show support of the choral program. The group meets on the second Tuesday of every month (see the Fine Arts Calendar) at 7:00 PM in the Faculty Lounge. The October and February meetings will be General Meetings in the Black Box Theatre at 7 PM. All parents are urged to attend all meetings and become involved. It’s a great place to get information first hand as Ms. Michael/Ms. Langley attend each meeting. The need for parent volunteers doesn’t end in Junior High. The work of this group benefits each student and has a major impact on the opportunities we are able to provide for our students.
