Welcome to Cavpac.org - Bringing
Back Extra-Curricular Activities to Carlinville Schools.
The students, the schools, and the
community need our help. As well as the academic side of schools,
the extra curricular activities are very important. They build
teamwork skills, the ability to get along and work with others, and
learning that takes the support of every individual to make a whole. As
you know, several activities are being eliminated from the schools
this year because of the lack of funding support form the State. We
are looking for community support to enable the District to
reinstate these activities. Extra curricular participation builds
enthusiasm in the schools as well as the community. It gives the
community a source of entertainment, participation and pride that
they talk about for years. If a
community loses this type of togetherness, its members will
travel to get it. If they travel to another community to watch or
participate in an event, they will buy gas, meals, shop, etc. in
that community. Once they lose the opportunity to support something
locally, they will go elsewhere. If we don't maintain what we have,
we not only lose our schools but our businesses as well. We
are asking for your support for the students, the schools and the
community-a pledge of $2,000 each year for the next three years. It
can be paid in three installments - July 1, September 1, and the
balance by January 1. This money will be used for all activities
that are being eliminated. It will be managed by a group that
represents all the students and their needs - the musical,
Scholastic Bowl, cross country, wrestling, WYSE, Student Council,
baseball, soccer, Cavalettes, cheerleading, golf, softball,
volleyball, all middle school activities - anything that was cut by
the fund reduction. Students who participate in any of these
activities may be asked to help by paying a participation fee, the
amount to be determined by the Board of Education. We
hope that you will want to contribute to the total fund, supporting
all activities in the Carlinville School District. However, if you
choose to support only a specific group (s), you may do so. If not
enough money is raised to reinstate your particular group, your
contribution will be returned to you. Please
consider supporting the Fun-D for Kids. They learn, they respond,
and it will give them a positive point in their lives. Please
download, complete and return the form on this site before July 1.
You may make your check payable to the Carlinville Community School
District #1. All contributions are tax -deductible pursuant to the
tax law. Your help will provide funding for continuing excellence in
our school system. If you desire further information about this
important fundraiser, please feel free to contact
