The Bulldog Bolt

Welcome to our 10th Annual Bulldog Bolt Fundraiser! Beginning today, we will help our school BOLT TO THE TOP by engaging our parents and community partners with a goal of raising $110,000 in donations.

During the past several years, funds raised by the Bulldog Bolt have enabled us to support our school in many areas to help our school function at its best. Most recently, we were able to support updates to multiple play spaces at the school and meet the critical need for adequate Social Emotional support for our students by helping fund an additional counselor on staff. This year, we will continue to support the school by funding the additional counselor and as well as an instructional specialist. We will also continue to meet the needs of our school and staff with valuable supplies and materials. If we reach beyond and exceed our fundraising goal, there are several exciting additions we can help purchase for the school including additional technology upgrades in the classrooms and continuing to upgrade WB play spaces.

Here is how your 2024 Bulldog Bolt donations will support Waverly Belmont Elementary School:

  • Support 50% of a full time counseling position at WB. This year, counseling services are streamlined for all grade levels. Counselors are supporting all students with classroom guidance lessons, individual counseling, small group counseling, and support teams.

  • Support 20% of a full time instructional specialist at WB. This role serves the bottom 10% of every grade level providing small groups of students with targeted intensive literacy interventions and weekly progress monitoring.

  • Ongoing support for current PTO programs and purchase of items to enhance teacher classrooms and the school. Each year the PTO makes many purchases to support teacher and administrative requests outside of what the school has budgeted for or is able to directly purchase. We are able to enhance our classrooms, support our teachers and help make our school the wonderful place it is!

Our fundraiser will end October 2, 2024. During the final week (9/30-10/4), our students will enjoy a spirit week full of exciting activities and dress-up days. Mark your calendar for our annual Bulldog Bolt race in Sevier Park on Wednesday, October 2, to kick off Fall Break in high spirits. We believe that we are the best elementary school in Nashville, and our kids deserve the best facilities and resources. Help us provide them with the best! Help our Bulldogs BOLT to the top!
