F2AST Foundation

  • F²AST: Fisler Foundation for the Advancement of Science and Technology is a 501(c)(3) status non- profit educational organization created by parents, teachers and administrators to raise funds to help meet budget shortfalls in science and technology.

    Mission Statement: To enhance the science and technology programs at Robert C. Fisler School in furtherance of 21st century learning.

    Vision: The underlying tenet of F2AST is straightforward: The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. F2AST knows that the quality of a child’s education is based on the partnership between the parents, educators, and the community. Together, let’s overcome today’s unprecedented budget crisis and give our children the quality education they deserve.

    Goals: F2AST has three fundamental goals:
    1. To make-up for district funding shortages that would have eliminated the Laptops for Learning program years ago.
    2. To purchase student-centered software that is curriculum-specific for each grade level.
    3. To provide financial support for science and technology initiatives.
    $0.83 per Student per Day
    That’s the average cost for the laptop program for Kindergarten through 8th grade! How can you help support 21st century learning at Robert C. Fisler School?
