2022-2024 Forever Keith Fund

As a school, we pride ourselves on all of the things that contribute to a secure and nurturing environment in which children are thriving.

We don’t often think about all of the things that contribute to that feeling, that environment.  But security is not an afterthought. Keith School is purposeful in creating a secure environment for your child. Current safety measures include limiting and monitoring entry points; managing visitor access; securing the campus perimeter; regularly training and practicing emergency protocols; and so much more.

There have been many technological advancements in school security and monitoring over the past several years. At Keith School, we want to be at the forefront of campus safety and security.

For this year’s Forever Keith campaign, we are going to continue our fundraising efforts for ongoing safety enhancements to our school and we are asking for your support.

Thank you for your support!

As of March 20, 2024, together we’ve raised the following amount for our two-year goal of $75,000!

$73,987 RAISED

(we’re 99% to goal!)

Our students’ wellbeing is always our top priority. Please help us meet our two-year goal of $75,000 to allow us to provide the most secure and nurturing environment now and for years into the future.

  • Installed shatterproof reinforcements to the glass windows/doors
