Taft Elementary School is a place that has offered quality
education for over 100 years. Taft School abounds with
historical charm that enriches and preserves Lockport’s
historical significance. However, over the last decade, financial
burdens of an aging school and the proximity of the school
distant from local business or corporate support has dwindled
any funds that may provide educational opportunities that other
Lockport area schools currently offer their students. The
purpose of Taft Foundation is to support and fund educational
programs and opportunities for all students at Taft School.
Taft Foundation is a non-profit organization that
raises private funds to support complementary
education programming for Taft School.
What is Taft Foundation?
 Non-profit organization raises private funds to
support educational programs and technology.
 Created and maintained by volunteers
 Supported by Taft District 90 BOE
 Currently in our 8th year
 So far this year, Taft Foundation has donated over
$20,000 to Taft School for extra curricular activities,
technology purchases, and teacher mini grants.

Dear Parents,
If we can get every Taft parent to commit Just 2 Hours to helping out, we can do
amazing things for our kids and our school.
Will you please take the 2 Hour Involvement Pledge?
We’ve started using a program called 2 Hour Power that emphasizes that all help, any
help makes a huge difference for schools. The research is so clear – kids at schools
with a broad base of involved parents perform markedly better on all kinds of key school
measures.
As you’ll see from the enclosed Interest Survey & Pledge Form, we’d love to help you
get involved in any way that works for your schedule and interests. What would you like
to do? When would you like to do it? We’d like to work with you to make sure all
parents can pitch in. Involvement is for everyone.
We’d love your 2 Hours, and --Really! We promise! – there’s no obligation beyond
helping out in this small, but important way. If you’d like to do more – great, but we
know that’s not a fit for everyone.
Participating in our 2 Hour Power program is easy. Simply complete the enclosed
Interest Survey & Pledge Form and return it to school with your child. We’ll then be in
touch with opportunities that fit your interests and availability.
Together, we can make a huge difference at our school! As always, please feel free to
call or email if you have any questions or concerns.
Thanks in advance,
Kris Jensen
PTA President
