What is our goal?
Our 2026–2027 fundraising goal is $300,000. The suggested donation is $500 per student, but contributions of any amount help support enrichment opportunities for all Julia Green students. Every gift helps our JG community.
What are the INVEST funds used for?

CRITICAL STAFF SUPPORT Reading Intervention — Dedicated reading interventionists providing hands-on, small-group support to build strong literacy skills. Math Support — A math enrichment specialist providing targeted instruction beyond the classroom. Library Assistance — Library staff assistants providing greater access to books, literacy, and learning resources. Instructional Classroom Support — Additional in-classroom, hands-on support to meet students where they are. Student Aid & Intervention — A part-time Vice Principal and counselor support so no student falls through the cracks. Educator Investment — Through the Julia Green Academic and Continuing Education Scholarship (ACES) — the first program of its kind in MNPS — we support teachers pursuing continuing education. Our Artisan Teacher Academy helps teachers identify and hone their unique strengths. BRINGING LEARNING TO LIFE Classroom Supplies & Technology — Materials and tools that keep learning hands-on, creative, and consistent. Big Experiences, Bright Curiosity — Enrichment programs and visits like Mr. Bond's Science Guys and the Nashville Ballet. Green Team Community Impact — In just 3 years, JG students have diverted 25,000 lbs of food waste from Nashville landfills and fed at-risk YMCA youth.
CONNECTING FAMILIES TO JG Community Events — Back-to-School Bash, Carnival, Field Day, Grandparents & Special Friends' Day, Art Show, Mathoween, and more. Support for Julia Green's Families — Ensuring every family has what they need, socially and academically, through the Julia's Families program and Hornets with Heart.
