What a novel idea! Let’s just flat out ask Polaris fans to give money to help fund enhancements for the new school. Things were immediately off to a strong start when an unclaimed $20 bill blew in off the playground.
Donations of $5402 to the Polar!s Now campaign supplemented the all-time high proceeds from our annual Fall Auction and Carnival on October 28th.
Please join in thanking our generous donors:
Please consider a contribution of any amount to Polar!s Now. Donation forms are in the office. Let’s make our dreams a reality!

Dear Polaris Parents, Students, Staff and Friends,
What a tremendous beginning to an unforgettable year, a year marked with the advent of a dream come true–our new building. This is a legacy of our hard work and the support of the Anchorage community. The reality of our new building, however, does not end the challenge of how to do a lot with limited funds. More than ever, we need funding for special projects.
Polaris Parent Forum is establishing Polar!s Now to encourage direct monetary tax deductible donations. Many individuals welcome an opportunity to give to our school but will not be the high bidder on an auction item, may not be able to attend the Fall Auction & Carnival, or participate in other fundraisers.
Polar!s Now gives the entire community–families, students, alumni, staff, friends, and businesses–an opportunity to have a meaningful stake in making things happen at Polaris. Broad participation within our community will factor into our appeal for grant applications and additional support from the businesses. Some of you may work for employers who will provide matching contributions to double the value of your own gift.
Current projects awaiting funds are the rock climbing wall estimated to cost $10,000, theater lighting and curtains at $30,000, art display panels at $3000, and musical instruments at $2000. We have long term needs for state of the art technology. Parent Forum also provides substantial funds annually for intensive and opportunity scholarships, enrichment classes, teacher training and material grants, and the much more.
We urge you to give what you can to Polar!s Now and be apart of the Polaris legacy. All donors will be recognized for their gift without reference to the amount of the contribution. And all contributions are tax-deductible since Parent Forum is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
Thanks for the legacy!
