THE COMPASS FUND IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT IN OUR COMMITMENT TO EDUCATION

The best and brightest students attend Balboa Magnet and we are committed to providing the tools they need to achieve  their goals. Just like a compass has been vital to explorers throughout history, the COMPASS Fund help keep our Balboa Explorers on the right path to success.
 
The Balboa Spirit Club (BSC) receives the bulk of our contributions through the Compass Fund. The success of this campaign determines, in large part, how much support we can offer our teachers and students.
 
Among other programs, the Compass Fund annual campaign provides our students with the following:
 
      - COMPUTER LAB         - VOCAL MUSIC INSTRUCTION
      - SCIENCE LAB              - PHYSICAL EDUCATION INSTRUCTION            
 
The COMPASS Fund also enables BSC to host fun events like Math Night, Festival of the Arts, Fall Picnic, and Movie Night. These community-builders allow students, parents, teachers, administrators, and staff to interact in a relaxed, non-classroom environment. This facilitates personal connections that help all who attend move beyond just thinking of Balboa as a school and more as being a member of Team Balboa.
WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT, THESE PROGRAMS WILL NOT CONTINUE
                                                                                                  
Please give in whatever amount you feel comfortable. We are aiming for 100% participation by Balboa families. We are grateful for donations of any amount. We also encourage families to explore employer matching fund programs. Thank-you gifts are available to those who contribute at the $350, $500, and $1,000 levels. See the list below for details.
 
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE COMPASS FUND

Our Balboa students are the best and you want to help provide enrichment classes to give them a balanced educational experience. Did you know that there may be a way to double your contribution… and it starts right in your office?
