Description

Discovery Charter School is a public, tuition free school serving grades K-8. Since opening its doors in the Fall of 2010, Discovery has provided a place-based, result-oriented educational point in Northwest Indiana. We have increased our enrollment from just under 300 to 540 today.

The Discovery Charter School Board of Directors is planning our annual Discover Our World fundraiser on Friday, March 1, 2024 at Journeyman. This event draws over 225 residents and community leaders. We have an exciting evening of entertainment planned for all who attend.

Over the past twelve years, funds have been raised to purchase and install a play- ground, maintain the latest technology for Discovery’s classrooms, provide additional land for Discovery’s school campus and contributed to a new building expansion completed in the fall of 2016—which included a gymnasium and additional class- rooms. Most recently, proceeds from this event completed our barn remediation, providing additional space for our students which continues to support our environ- mental, place based education. It also has allowed additional room for our extra curricular clubs/athletics to meet.

As we grow we are constantly monitoring our campus space and planning for expansion. This is only made possible through the generous support of our families and community. As a charter school we do not benefit from the same tax dollars as our traditional school neighbors. Please help us reach our financial goals for our event by contributing a silent auction item by way of gift certificates, services, and/or merchandise. All donations are tax deductible. Donations directly help our students achieve their goals and greatly enhance their educational experience.

Partner with us to make a difference by contributing to the success of our event. Your company can demonstrate your commitment to education and support of Discovery Charter School families by making a donation for our silent auction or a sponsorship to offset our event cost. We appreciate your thoughtful consideration of our request, and thank you in advance for your support.
