2021 Annual Fund Drive Goal

$225,000  

We Can Do This Together

When schools closed in March of 2020 due to the pandemic, the importance of bringing a quality education to all students did not change. It is our responsibility to make sure that every student receives the support needed to be a successful learner, and our teachers quickly turned to remote learning, bringing their classrooms to their students through online technology.

The hope was that school would start in September with in-person learning. While that was not possible except for our littlest learners in Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten, we trust that we will emerge from this time of trial stronger than ever. We are grateful for the dedication of our teachers and staff and for your continued generous support.

The Greatest Need Fund

The Greatest Need Fund is used to bridge the gap where most needed—often in the areas of technology, tuition assistance, and building infrastructure.

Amazing things have been made possible by our generous supporters.

Here are a few things we have been able to accomplish:

Covid Safety Improvements

• Ventilation Upgrades
• New touch-less faucets

Infrastructure Improvements

• Needed upgrades to the internet and phone lines
• New security cameras
• Replacement gutters for the roof

Student Life Improvements

• New sound system for the school hall
• New CYO uniforms will be waiting when our
students return to the court.

We are united by faith and community, guiding our children as they develop into responsible, broad-minded citizens who respond with reverence and respect to family, church, and the global community.

We Are Grateful For Every Gift

This past year has been like no other, and the challenges we face have added expenses to our already tight budget. Pandemic-related job instabilities for some of our parents have increased tuition dollar needs. Additional staffing has been hired to help facilitate online learning to its fullest.

The need for additional Chomebooks and iPads has increased as well. Your donations are an important part of our school community’s ability to nurture and education our children. We are grateful for every gift.
