Bulldog Country, your support continues to make an impact.
In Week 17 of our Final Push, we received $2,050 in new pledges, with $1,300 already in hand.
Our Final Push total now stands at $279,300. When combined with Rock Fest proceeds, we’ve raised an incredible $654,300 of our $750,000 goal. That’s 87% of the way there.
This campaign has never been about one big moment. It’s been about a community showing up week after week. Thank you for believing in this vision and investing in our students.
Let’s keep the momentum rolling and finish this Final Push STRONG.

When our kids—preschool through junior high—are overwhelmed or upset, their brains are not ready to learn. In these moments, a break is often more effective than a consequence.
Being overwhelmed can look like tears, snarky comments, big meltdowns, a busy body, slamming a door, throwing a backpack, big reactions to small problems, refusing to talk, saying “I can’t” when we know they can, or making careless mistakes. Sound familiar? At times, our own reactions don’t look all that different.
When we’ve had a hard day at work, are juggling too many responsibilities, recovering from illness, or dealing with one stressor after another, we may feel short-tempered, emotional, or shut down. While our problems may feel bigger, to our kids, their problems feel just as big. When days are hard for us, we usually don’t need punishment or lectures—we need time, space, and support.
The same is true for our kids. Instead of reacting to an eye roll or slammed door with a harsh consequence, we can pause, give them space to be upset, and check in once they’re calm. When a young child falls apart because they can’t tie their shoe, they’re not being bad—they’re frustrated. Setting the task aside, taking a break, and coming back later helps far more than pushing through in the moment.
Remember, the goal of a break is calm, not time served. It’s about responding to what our children need, rather than reacting to the behavior we see.
