Unrestricted Operating Gifts are primarily gifts to the Annual Fund and other gifts for current school operations. They are used as needed for salaries, development, instructional items for academics, P.E., athletics, utilities and plant expenses, as well as other program enhancements. These funds close the gap between tuition charged and the total cost to educate a CES student. Funds from parent fund raisers are used primarily for technology and other instructional enhancements as well as faculty development and facilities and grounds improvements. Capital Project Gifts and Pledges are designated for new facilities, further development of the site, and building an endowment for the future. Restricted gifts are designated by the donor.
A
s you read this annual report, we hope you take pride in the fact that CES consistently provides an educational experience that is truly unique in our area. The success of our school, year in and year out, is the result of the passion and efforts of each and every member of the school community. The dedicated, talented faculty and staff deliver a product that is a model for other schools. Our families generously provide their time and talents to all aspects of the school. It is good to pause and reflect on the past year, even as we are already deep into the opportunities and challenges of the current year.
T
he fiscal results reported here reflect our steadfast, strident and enduring orientation to maximize the resources allocated directly to instruction. We hope that your generosity, documented here, is an indication of your goodwill and recognition of our efforts. The graphs and charts list our assets, yet the real “capital� of the school is the trust and good faith upon which our day to day operations and future advancements are and will be predicated.
T
his annual report is our attempt to recognize and to publicly thank everyone who has given so much to CES in this past year. There are countless ways that you give your time, efforts or dollars on behalf of the school. In many cases your contributions have been given without recognition or the appropriate acknowledgement for the impact they have had. Many of you feel that no thank you is necessary, but without your continued support, CES would cease to exist as we know it. So, thank you most sincerely and we pledge to continue to strive to honor your trust with our best efforts in this important work.

The operating financial results shown do not include amounts raised for capital projects or for endowment during 2006-2007.
O
ur positive financial results for the year were due to strong enrollment, continued emphasis on fiscal discipline, the success of our fundraising activities, and unanticipated grants related to Hurricane Katrina.
Seventy-seven percent of the total expenses for the academic year (excluding future funding) were committed to teachers, students and direct instructional expenditures while the other twenty-three percent were directed toward ensuring that our programs will be adequately funded in a safe and nurturing environment. The willingness and generosity of families, grandparents, alumni and friends to provide ongoing financial support and allows us to enrich programs and curriculum and helps us bridge the gap between tuition and our actual cost per student. Tuition covers eighty-seven percent of the actual cost of a CES education. The budgeted gap for the 2007-2008 school year is $946 per student.
Annual Fund 2006 - 2007 “Celebrate Each Student�
The Annual Giving Fund is an essential component of our annual operating budget. The funds raised each year allow CES to better support innovations in teaching, low student/teacher ratios, upgrades to technology, maintenance of our expanding facility, our service learning projects and to continue to develop a program aligned with our mission and learning goals. We are grateful to everyone who made the 2006-2007 Annual Giving campaign the most successful in our 22-year history. Total dollars raised were $194,937. This was a 63% increase over the prior year. Gifts from current parents increased by 65% from $68,023 to $112,306 and the percent participation by parents increased from 36% to 52%. Alumni giving remained steady and accounted for 5% of the total. Giving by grandparents almost doubled from $14,680 to $27, 745. Foundation and gifts by other friends of the school also increased substantially, from $6,782 to $21,935.
