On behalf of everyone at the Ross School I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who participated in the 2010-2011 Annual Giving campaign and other fundraising efforts. I would especially like to show appreciation to our Founder and Board President, Courtney Sale Ross, for her courage, vision and generosity. The rest of the Board of Trustees, our Overseers, and our supportive Parents Association have also been particularly helpful in making a difference for Ross School students as they prepare for meaningful lives in our global society.

This year we celebrate Ross School’s 20th anniversary— a significant milestone and one of which we should all be proud. Ross School has made great strides toward long-term sustainability in just two decades, but we still have a way to go together.

As at nearly all independent schools, the cost of a Ross education exceeds tuition. Consequently, we rely on fundraising events and Annual Giving to help ensure the continuation of our small classes, highly qualified faculty, incredible visual and performing arts programs, state-of-the-art science labs, athletics, senior projects, Winter Intersession, our Café and the other programs that make Ross such a unique and engaging learning community.

Thank you again for your involvement at Ross School and your commitment to our success. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with all of you on behalf of our students and I look forward to your continued support.

With my best regards,

MICHELE CLAEYS HEAD OF SCHOOL
