[BHS Etree] FUNDRAISING: AC Academic Support Campaign

The Academic Choice Advisory Council is in urgent need of your help for 
our AC Academic Support Campaign.

During the past two years, AC has modified its curriculum to require 
that juniors and seniors enroll in an Advanced Placement (AP) course in 
order to give all AC students the opportunity to take on the challenge 
of pre-college preparation. These initiatives created the need for new 
support structures so that all AC students receive 
the individualized attention they require to succeed, including:

--Tutors who provide weekly after-school sessions for students who need 
extra support

--Readers who assist AP teachers with grading so that all students' 
writing assignments are returned in a timely manner with suggestions for 
improvement

--The AC Academic Support Coordinator who provides essential 
oversight, coordination and course evaluation

The budget provided to Berkeley High by the school district has no money 
allotted for these programs, *so the majority of this critical student 
support has been made possible by donations from AC families. /If we are 
to continue our programs next year--as well as fund other AC events such 
as our Back-to-School picnic and our AC graduation ceremony--we are in 
urgent need of your donation today. Any amount you can give will make a 
difference for our kids/.*

You can make your donation to the Berkeley High School Development 
Group (BHSDG) with "For Academic Choice" or "For AC" on the memo line 
and mail it to: Rakhi Rao, 2342 Shattuck Ave. #185, Berkeley, CA 94707.

Or for an online donation, go to the BHSDG web site 
http://bhsdg.org/donors.html. Under the PayPal™ logo on the left, type 
in “Academic Choice” in the box beneath "Donate to the BHSDG Annual Fund 
(other designation optional)", click the “Donate” tab, and then enter 
your payment information.


Thank you!

The Academic Choice Advisory Council
