7. Our Fundraising Component We are in the process of collecting cell phones and inkjet cartridges to raise money through phoneraiser. Our Faculty Supervisor requested support from the AI Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) to sponsor our service project, Students Overseeing Students (SOS), to keep it in the school community at AI for this school year. We received a grant for $2000 for our service project, SOS, to continue serving students in our school community with peer mentoring/tutoring services to assist them in their academic achievements. We are hoping to contribute any money we receive from the phoneraiser event to support the Jefferson Awards Scholarship program. EXPANDS FINANCIAL CAPACITY FOR VOLUNTEERS
