Polaris relies on gifts from friends like you to support our innovative hands-on Learning Expeditions and our transformative character-building education that inspire students to achieve more than we think possible. Your tax-deductible donation to Polaris helps us fulfill our mission and directly impacts the 450 K–8th grade students we serve each day. With your help we are empowering our students to become true Explorers and Active Citizens who engage the world with Integrity, Critical Thinking, and Compassion. If you would like to make a difference with your giving, please consider a gift to Polaris. Your donation will help advance our mission and support our students’ learning throughout the year. All gifts matter–no contribution is too small or too big. Thank you for supporting Polaris. I WANT TO SUPPORT POLARIS WITH A GIFT HERE
