Fall Fundraiser (Art-A-Thon)

What is Art-A-Thon?

Art-A-Thon is a school-wide fundraising campaign for Renaissance High School for the Arts. 

Objective

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, and often much higher 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.

A Few Recent 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.”

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).
