How the CFSD Foundation Helps Sunrise Drive

Do you know about the CFSD Foundation?

The mission of the Foundation is to raise funds to attract, develop and retain excellent teachers throughout the district.

Specifically, the Foundation helps fund our district’s teacher induction program. Has your child's teacher been working in CFSD for three or fewer years? If so, she/he is part of the district's 3-year induction program.  The desired result of the induction program is to provide district students a more competent, skilled teacher working with their children.  

The 3-year induction program has a price tag of approximately $250,000 so it is the combination of a CFSD Foundation gift and some district funding that keeps that program alive. Times are especially challenging this year because the Arizona Legislature cut ALL of our funding for this program.  The only way to find this program is through direct donations.  Our goal is to raise $500,000 this year.

At Sunrise Drive, there are 18 teachers who participate in and benefit from this program.

Visit the CFSD Foundation website at http://cfsdfoundation.org/ to read testimonial form teachers about the value of this training – and how it supports our teachers and students.

Public education is extremely fragile in our state.  Increasingly, it is becoming obvious that a great public education is not free.

Our teachers need our help.

In addition to supporting our FFO here at Sunrise, please make an annual donation to the CFSD Foundation.
