$150k here we come!
We're moving the dial with $126,940 in for the 2017-2018 Annual Appeal and VISION Capital Campaign. If you haven't had a chance to contribute, you still have time!
Like last year we are collecting the data on donations for the Annual Appeal and VISION Capital Campaign by grade level and calculating the percentage. Currently this is the breakdown:
- 9th parent donation %: 27%
- 10th parent donation %: 42%
- 11th parent donation %: 25%
- 12th parent donation %: 34%
This March you can still support our schoolwide Annual Appeal and VISION Capital Campaign fundraising efforts by making your donation online, with a check, or in person through March 29, 2018. Your support helps all of our students, but more specifically, assists your child’s opportunity for a free dress pass and free lunch provided by the school on April 10, 2018.
The dollar amount does not matter. Even families on tuition assistance can donate – whether it is the cost of a cup of coffee at Starbucks or the amount your child spends at the lunch truck…yes, $5 or $7 makes a huge difference in the life of our school community! When I met with the Monterey Peninsula Foundation and the Mary Stuart Rogers Foundation about supporting our school, they always ask:
- Does your board donate? Yes, 100%!
- Does your staff donate? Yes, 100%!
- Do your parents donate? Yes, but right now we’re at 32%. Change this statistic and help us reach our goal of 100% participation in this year’s Parent Giving!
With your support we are looking forward to closing in on our $125,000 goal in the next four months.
