Support the Pride
Over the last few years, through generous support of King Springs' families, friends and community members and businesses, we have been able to increase the financial support for King Springs Elementary School. By providing funds for programs targeted by the school, our students and faculty have received resources above and beyond the standard funding by the Cobb County School System.
What is the Support the Pride Annual Fundraising Campaign?
Support the Pride is King Springs Elementary school’s annual giving campaign to raise funds in support of programs that benefit our students and enable us to have the supplies and resources needed to retain our Cobb STEM School Certification.
The King Springs Foundation has chosen not to ask families to sell items or to ask you to get sponsors for participation in an event. Instead, we hold a capital campaign to raise a majority of the funds we will need to support a number of programs and initiatives for the year.
2018-2019 Support the Pride Campaign Raised over $72,000.

Why should I give?
You may ask, “I already pay property taxes. Why should I donate to the Support the Pride annual campaign?”. Property tax revenues finance all Cobb County Schools and provide funding for standard district wide education initiatives.
Foundation donations provide resources that go above and beyond the Cobb County School District per pupil allocations. Last year, our school received Cobb County STEM School certification and this year they continue their work toward AdvancedEd STEM certification. Support The Pride funds will be used to maintain and extend our STEM certification, expand our technology resources, fund classroom teacher grants and training, and support ongoing King Springs initiatives.
Your donation to the Support the Pride enables King Springs to continue to meet the County’s STEM standards and enables us to push toward new goals of excellence.
Full participation by our key stakeholders demonstrates commitment from the King Springs community to our students’ achievement and success. Every little bit helps. We invite parents and guardians, faculty, staff, alumni, extended family, employers, the community and friends of King Springs to participate and make King Springs Elementary the best school it can be.
