For Learning Community Charter School, the spring benefit gala and silent auction will be heldat The Beacon, Fri april 16, 6 - 8 pm.
LCCS is a unique and dynamic educational institution that is building strong academic success for hundreds of Jersey City children each year. In 1997, Learning Community was one of the state's first charter schools. Since then it has become the model of charter school success.
LCCS students are able to reach these impressive academic goals despite receiving less than 60% of funding traditional Jersey City districts receive.
Our overall budget was cut more than $700,000 last year.
The good news is that the William E. Simon Foundation is offering LCCS a grant that will match every dollar raised at the Gala and other fundraisers up to $250,000. So far, the school has raised $130,000 to meet this goal, from bake sales to bowl-a-thons. The Gala is one of the key ways we can do this.
