2023 AVHSC Annual Parent Survey

1.The enrichment activities that AVHSC sponsors cost approximately $400/student/year. We currently raise these funds through the annual membership drive in the fall and fundraisers throughout the year (the fall Walkathon, the spring Auction). Some schools ask their parents to contribute all the funds up-front and have no fundraisers during the year - just community events. Would you prefer this approach?

Yes - I'd prefer to just contribute once and not be asked for the rest of the year

No - I'd prefer to spread out my contributions with the membership drive and fundraisers throughout the year

I don't know/I don't have a preference

2.If you'd prefer to contribute to AVHSC one time at the beginning of the year, what would be the maximum amount that you would be willing to contribute per student? AVHSC programs cost $400/student/year.
