Falcon2Falcon

It is a internal program that provides necessary assistance to the Groves family, staff and the greater BPS community dealing with emergency circumstances.

The Falcon2Falcon Committee includes three Groves staff members who work with administrators to carry forth the mission and initiatives associated with this program. 

Funding and in-kind donations are raised through direct contributions from parents and staff to support independent requests for assistance and seasonal giving initiatives.

Groves families in need should not hesitate to contact any Groves administrator, faculty or staff member to discuss potential Falcon2Falcon support. Throughout the year, adult members of the Groves community may submit confidential requests for assistance to the Falcon-Falcon Committee on behalf of another party or for themselves. 

Groves teachers, administrators and staff can access the request form through Google forms. Anyone struggling to locate the form should contact the CSO office for assistance.

After careful but prompt review, the Committee then works with the requesting party to determine and administer the appropriate support for the individual(s) in need as allowed through its programmatic guidelines. This effort usually entails having confidential conversations between the requesting individual or a Committee member and the person/family in need.

Support requiring assistance of $250 or less can usually be made within a few days of the request date. Support for assistance $250 and greater, may require a longer turnaround time as the entire Committee must convene virtually or in person to discuss. 

Falcon2Falcon is not intended to support official, organized charitable programs. However, the Committee reserves the right to append this guideline in times of extreme emergencies affecting the greater BPS community directly.

No. BPS business services protocols do not allow for cash, checks or money orders to be made out to any party.

In the past, the Committee assisted a family or individual in need by:

• Purchasing groceries
• Helping with bill payments
• Providing clothing and other life essentials 
• Providing seasonal gifts and donations.
