B U 2024
We are excited to be able to offer farmers a chance to support Bayou Academy by designating bushels to donate at the facilities that we have partnered with Through this initiative, farmers can direct the amount of their choosing at drop off to go directly to Bayou Academy All donations made to the Bayou Academy Foundation through this initiative are 100% tax deductible
The Bayou Academy Foundation has set up accounts at Farmers Grain Terminal, Bunge, Louis Dreyfus, and Consolidated Grain & Barge Co - all of which are located at either the Port of Rosedale or the Port of Greenville
How does it work? Simple as the two steps below!
1 Decide the number of bushels you would like to designate to BA and then let the respective elevator know when you are dropping off Every bushel makes a difference!
2 The elevator will then contact Bayou Academy and let us know that a donation has been made and the business that participated
Pick your basket to dump your “bushels”! Academics, Arts, Athletics, Grounds- you name it!
THE BLUE AND WHITE FUND
The Blue and White Fund is the annual fund for Bayou Academy. Gifts to the Blue and White Fund provide support to the school that tuition alone cannot cover The gifts made to the Blue and White Fund have an immediate impact on each student at Bayou Academy.
Similar to most independent schools, Bayou Academy relies on the support and generosity of our families and community to meet expenses
By supporting the Blue and White Fund, you can ensure that every student at Bayou Academy will receive the highest quality education, experience programs that will inspire the minds of tomorrow and continue to pursue excellence
Your gift to the Blue and White Fund can be directed to academics, STEM, the arts, athletics, or the area of greatest need.
