Donors

In order to maintain our rich curriculum featuring small class sizes, an integrated arts program, and intensive support services, such as special education, counseling and behavior management, Gordon Parks must fundraise up to 20% of its operating budget each year. 

We gratefully thank our contributors who made education possible for our students during the 2010-2011 school year. The donor listing includes financial contributions made July 2010 through June 2011.
