What is Art-A-Thon?
Art-A-Thon is a school-wide fundraising campaign for Renaissance High School for the Arts.
Objective
At Renaissance, we believe that learning extends beyond the classroom. Through the Art-A-Thon fundraiser, we're committed to providing every student with opportunities for enriching educational experiences off campus — from field trips and performances to festivals and other real-world learning opportunities.
With transportation costs for a single outing exceeding $1,000 — not including tickets and other related expenses — our goal is to raise $20,000 to make these opportunities possible for all students.
A portion of the funds raised will also help us purchase essential classroom supplies and equipment that fall outside the regular school budget — resources that directly support hands-on, engaging learning.
Every contribution helps bring learning to life.
Why Off Campus Experiences?
“Field trips give students the opportunity to learn in a natural environment and experience things first-hand and from primary resources, rather than texts; real objects rather than photos.”
Margy Natalie, acting onsite learning manager at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum.
Students who take school trips have better grades (59%), higher graduation rates from high school (95%) and college (63%) and greater income (12% higher annually).
