Bowman Education Foundation (BEF) is a volunteer-driven non-profit founded in 2011 to support Ackerman Charter School District. Our primary objective is to provide resources to the Ackerman Charter School District to sustain a challenging and enriching educational experience that maximizes the learning potential of every student. 
WHAT WE FUND
BEF supports a variety of projects, including classroom and enrichment supplies as well as facilities improvements that directly enhance students’ learning. Classroom projects give teachers the opportunity to offer a richer learning experience and would not be available without the foundation's support.
​
The types of classroom improvements we have funded in past years include a stage and backdrops for theatrical and music performances, overhead LCD projectors, voice amp systems and SMART boards® for every classroom, flex seating, computer mice, musical instruments, library books, and ceramics supplies. We’ve also funded online curriculum programs to help students build 21st century skills and  improvement projects  to enhance students’ experience in larger-group settings outside the classroom.
​WHAT'S NEW
BEF held our Big Day of Giving online fundraiser on May 5, 2022. Our goal was to raise funds to:
  • Transform Bowman's little-used central courtyard into an outdoor quad with shaded seating, which will create an amazing multipurpose gathering space for numerous learning and social opportunities.
  • Purchase 500+ new and classic books for a much-needed refresh to our school's aging library collection.
​Thanks to the generosity of many individual donors and local business partners, we were able to raise over $12,000. Stay tuned for more information about these two exciting projects!
