Annual Fund Participation Competition: A Celebration of Community

From April 1 to 18, the French International parent community came together in an inspiring show of support during the Annual Fund Participation Competition. With the goal of reaching 100% parent participation in each grade, this friendly competition wasn’t about the size of a gift but about collective commitment to our students, teachers, and school.

Throughout the three-week competition, energy and enthusiasm grew steadily, culminating in an exciting final stretch filled with generosity and school spirit. Whether sharing encouragement, making a gift, or attending Friday’s Coffee Club, families across all grades stepped up in meaningful ways.

We’re proud to share that every grade experienced strong participation, with preschool reaching 95% participation, which is incredible! Congratulations to first grade, who reached 80% participation, and second grade, who finished at 79% participation. Students scored a cozy classroom movie time with lots of popcorn! Pre-k, TPS, kindergarten, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh grades surpassed 50% participation. Their prize is a hot cocoa bar.

Your contributions to the Annual Fund help enhance every part of the student experience—from field trips to guest speakers, classroom and library resources to teacher professional development. Thank you for being part of this incredible effort.
