Closing the Gap: Investing in Our Students, Building a Stronger Tomorrow
Welcome to the donation page for the 2025 Direct Give campaign (running February 1-28). Our goal is to raise $125,000 in order to ensure we are able to continue to offer a high-quality, personalized learning experience for every student. Your generosity helps to keep the things we treasure at Asbury, including:
- Full-time PE and Music programs that enrich our students’ education.
- Intervention services for students needing additional academic support.
- Gifted & Talented para and teacher resources to challenge every learner.
- A full-time Nurse to prioritize student well-being.
- Para Educator hours that ensure equitable support and access to health insurance.
- Project-Based Learning (PBL) initiatives, including staff training, project support, and coordination.
- Staffing at a capacity that feels right for our school and its needs (more staff than DPS budget supports)
100% of your donations go directly to the Asbury Elementary School PTSO to support teacher salaries, student programs, and other initiatives that benefit our school community.
From a first grade parent: “This may seem obvious, but every time I’m on campus, I notice all sorts of ways these greater educators go above and beyond for our kids. They deserve to be paid for their amazing work, and right now it’s up to us parents to close the funding gap.”
