Our annual appeal takes place in the Fall. Be sure to look for our newsletter and pledge request early in the school year.
We are establishing an endowment that allows us to plan well in advance and to create a long-term strategic funding vision for what we, the community and our educators can accomplish for the benefit of our students. Our current model of annual funding includes a significant reliance on special event fundraising. Special events have life cycles, are dependent on weather and the availability and skills of volunteers.
An endowment will permit the Foundation to have a profoundly positive impact in enhancing academic excellence for our current and future students.
Investments at the following levels permit the work of the Foundation to continue with a stable source of funds:
A gift of this size could fund leadership development programs like sending our 7th graders to Camp Kieve, and providing a Kieve educator in-residence for 7 weeks for all three grades at the Middle School.
Funding at this level would allow us to expand our offerings in STEM, including the first ever robotics team at the high school, and a pre-engineering laboratory to ensure pre-college exposure to these disciplines.
Support at this level enhances our ability to provide hands-on learning experiences like our gardening and greenhouse project, which provides students with practical, comprehensive farm to table knowledge and understanding.
Endowments of this size support a variety of projects in many areas including professional development for teachers and project-based and experiential learning like Destination Imagination, and arts courses.
