Donation terms

The following terms and conditions apply to all donations made to SBCS:

  • Charges for one-time donations are immediate;

Our son is already talking about what he will do for the school’s science fair this spring

Our son loves science. He has been given a materials-base learning curriculum that has allowed him to pursue his love for scientific reasoning and analysis. He is already talking about what he will do for the school’s science fair this spring. In a recent art lesson about the Scottish artist, Andy Goldsworthy, famous for his sculptures and land-art situated in natural and urban settings, my son remembered he has seen Mr. Goldsworthy’s art before in a book. When asked what he noticed about Mr. Goldsworthy’s sculptures, he said, “He uses proprieties of nature like gravity, weather, and space to make his art.” I was working in the classroom that day and was so thankful for a lesson that allowed him to see the complexities of art and how it required an understanding of other disciplines in order to be successful.
