​On average, our scholars look at their computer screen 6 hours a day. Sponsor a child's blue glasses to ease the strain on their eyes and make learning from home more comfortable!	Our scholars are unable to share books during a pandemic. Sponsor a child's personal set of books to keep and build their love for reading!	We would love to allow our scholars to keep the laptops provided during their distance learning experience. Sponsor a Chromebook for a scholar to keep permanently!

Our classrooms will need to have cubbies designated for each scholar once we switch into a hybrid learning model. We'd like to minimize the spread of the virus by allocating specific cubbies for every scholar. Sponsor classroom cubbies for one class!	We believe that learning should extend outside the classroom - that is why field trips are so essential. It is critical to expose our scholars to local college campuses beginning in Kindergarten.	Honor your alma mater and inspire our scholars to go to college! As a college prep school, scholars know from the minute they come to Soleil Academy that they are expected to go to college. Help provide each scholar a college t-shirt representing your alma mater along with the college pennant!

While these are suggested items to sponsor, any contribution you can make will help us with our expenses such as books and supplies.

5. Do charter schools receive less money than traditional public schools?
Yes. A January 2012 report by the state Legislative Analyst's Office found that charter schools receive at least 7% less funding than traditional schools across the board, or $395 per student, and as much as $1,000 per student for some charter schools. We rely heavily on private donors as well as grants and corporate donations.
