Support LA — Support YOUR School!

But where does the money go?

My young daughter stared with fascination as — woosh! — the pneumatic tube at the drive-thru bank window carried my paycheck up and away. “Mommy,” she wailed, “where did your money go?!”

Our money was safe at the bank, I explained. From that account, I said, we paid for her allowance, the house, lights to see by, and heat to keep us warm. Nearly everything in her little life, every day, was funded by our salaries.

The answer to the question “Where does my LA Fund gift go?” is similar. These gifts are put to immediate use, helping to pay for the programs, people, and facilities that allow us to provide such an outstanding education to our students. Tuition alone isn’t enough.

Together with hundreds of other donors, your gifts make possible the margin of excellence that helps us recognize, inspire, support, and empower every student, every day. We are immensely grateful.

Have other questions about the LA Fund or want to share a story about why you give? Please call me, Beth Crutcher, director of development, at 978-448-1566, or email me at bcrutcher@lacademy.edu.
