Back to school means the Back to School Boost, Friends of Amundsen’s 6th annual back-to-school fundraising campaign supporting an important Amundsen initiative.

This year’s Back to School Boost is the most critical Boost campaign to date.

Amundsen is facing a budget deficit due to a combination of budget cuts (explained in Principal Eilers’ May 2023 email to parents) and the increasing expense of running the school. Simply put, the money allocated by CPS is not enough to cover the cost of classroom and school-wide resources. Now more than ever, we’re relying on the support of our community to ensure that our students continue to receive the quality education they deserve.

Your contribution will play a vital role in offsetting the cost of school operations and maintaining the smooth functioning of our educational programs. Boost donations will be allocated to critical areas such as instructional materials, student transportation, software, technology equipment, office supplies, and more.

The 2023 Boost goal is to raise $50,000 by September 30. This amount will not fully bridge Amundsen’s 2023-24 budget deficit, but it will significantly address the school’s most important operational and educational needs. Every contribution—large and small—will help us reach this ambitious, yet achievable fundraising goal.
