UNLEASH YOUR SUPERPOWER: A MARVELOUS JOURNEY TOGETHER! 

Our 2024 giving theme is Unleash Your Superpower: A Marvelous Journey Together!  Our Saxe community is comprised of talented individuals who bring their own superpowers to school everyday.  We are harnessing our potential to shape a brighter future for every student and educator.

CREATING COMMUNITY SPACES

This year Celebrate Saxe funds will be used to create community learning spaces within our Saxe building. We'll be enhancing key areas of our school:

• Area Outside the Library
• 7th/8th Grade Hallways
• Entrance to the Lower Division  

Picture banquettes, window seats, couches, coffee tables - a cool and almost college-like feel of encouraging students to get comfortable and work together in small groups outside of the four classroom walls. Additional Celebrate Saxe funds will be directed to teacher grants. Please see below for what Celebrate Saxe has made possible!

Celebrate Saxe is our annual, one week fundraiser for all of the student-specific initiatives that the PTC funds each year. The PTC spends $175 per student per year to enhance and enrich the learning experience here at Saxe and we raise all of these funds during Celebrate Saxe. 

We have a goal of raising $100,000 and achieving 100% participation for this year’s fundraiser. We hope you will join us in this one week fundraising effort to fund the programming and resources that distinguish Saxe as one of the best middle schools around!   

In addition to supporting our teachers, who go above and beyond to create the best possible experience for every student, your contribution makes a big impact in the quality of your child’s education and experience at Saxe.
