Stand Together to Celebrate Each Student Christ Episcopal School 2011-2012 Annual Fund
Since the beginning, CES has been a place that celebrates the unique and extraordinary qualities of each student. We are committed to helping them to think critically, solve problems creatively, and act justly in the
spirit of Christ.
Why the Annual Fund matters CES counts on unrestricted gifts raised through the Annual Fund to provide a margin of excellence that is built into our budgeted operating expenses.
Annual Fund gifts are invested in: • • • • •
Celebrate... Participate!
Our CES families have always been essential to the culture, tradition, mission and fabric of our school.
CES strives to:
• Enhance our programs and facilities to create a dynamic learning environment • Attract excellent educators who are leaders in their field • Keep tuition affordable, supporting diversity in our student body Each year, gifts to the Annual Fund really do celebrate each student because they augment the cost of a CES education for each child enrolled in our school.
•
State-of-the-art technology Program enhancements Athletic programs Facility maintenance Faculty salaries and professional development Other expenses to improve each student’s experience
Every gift counts, large or small Each gift:
• really does matter • is an endorsement of our shared mission • goes a long way toward paying life-time dividends for our children. • is made stronger by every other gift
YOU make a difference!
When the school seeks assistance from outside funders for certain grant opportunities available to us, these donors, corporations and foundations ask what percentage of parents, alumni and other constituents give to the school’s Annual Fund. That’s why family participation is so important. A family’s first gift to CES should be to the Annual Fund.
We hope that you will consider a gift to the 2011-2012 Annual Fund. Only you can determine the amount that’s right for you and your family, but please give as you are able. Your gift is not only critically important to the school, but you will enjoy a tax advantage. All gifts to the Annual Fund are tax deductible.
2011-2012 Annual Fund Goals: $200,000 100% parent participation
