On March 21st, 2025, Francine Delany New School for Children will host our fifth annual Flight of the Owls!
This event teaches our kids the importance of body movement, leadership, and character while supporting our school and raising funds for our operating expenses. This money keeps our school running. This year we are raising money to continue our school nurse program. Additionally, we have experienced unexpected loss of revenue from Hurricane Helene and budget cuts to our local funding. Your generous sponsorship will also support the purchase of a school shirt to show school spirit and pride all year. Our goal is $40,000 and with your support we can make this a great success!
FDNSC is a tuition-free public school and a 501 C-3 organization. We serve 188 students, almost half of whom have been historically, and continue to be, excluded from access to resources. Our focus is on promoting social justice and the inherent dignity of each learner through small class sizes, hands-on learning, and individualized instruction of the standard North Carolina curriculum.

We need your support. Would you be a sponsor for our Flight of the Owls Boosterthon? Benefits of sponsorship include:
