The Eagle Fund is Selwyn’s annual fall giving campaign that funds day-to-day needs and learning experiences, covering classroom resources, teacher support, field trips and student programs. Donations bridge the gap between public funding and the annual budget needed to keep our school exceptional.
Field Trips: Allows all students to attend most field trips free of charge: Discovery Place Science, Whitewater Center, Midland Farms, Camp Thunderbird, Nascar Hall of Fame, Bank of America Stadium, Truist Field, Reed’s Gold Mine, Old Salem, NC Zoo (transportation), Raptor Center, the Schiele Museum, and new for 26-27 school year: The Children’s Theater.
Science Lab and Makerspace supplies: Provides students with hands-on access to tools, technology, and creative materials, fostering innovation and problem-solving skills.
Selwyn Student & Parent Events: Offers students memorable events such as Red & Blue Field Day, the Fall Festival, Family Fun Run, Fifth Grade Play and more.
Critical Needs Assistance: Supports students in need with essentials like backpacks, clothing, and school supplies.
Health Room & Classroom Supplies: Helps stock essential items for the health room and provides a starter fund to support teachers with classroom supplies at the beginning of the school year.
Staff Appreciation & Professional Development for Teachers
The Selwyn Rocks: For the 26-27 school year, there will be no cost to reserve the rock for special milestones, birthdays, etc.
Building Blocks funds longer-term improvements for the school such as technology, classroom libraries, and playground equipment.
The Eagle Fund supports the entire PTA operating budget. Donations allow the PTA to fund day-to-day needs and learning opportunities that aren’t covered by public funding, including classroom resources, teacher support, field trips and student programs.
The 2026 Eagle Fund campaign runs September 11-25, 2026.
