Nurturing Minds; Shaping Tomorrow

Contribute to the Community School Annual Fund Today

The Community School depends on the Annual Appeal for revenue beyond tuition to support an outstanding learning environment for students and teachers.

WHY ANNUAL FUND SUPPORT MATTERS

Dear Friend of The Community School,

Welcome to the 2023 -2024 school year! As our school embarks on its 55th year providing meaningful learning and growth opportunities for our students, there has never been a better time to give. Community School depends on your generous support for revenue beyond that of tuition each year, in order to make meaningful enhancements to our programs. It is a way for you to directly support our outstanding educators and to continue to provide the best learning environment for all our students.

We continue to offer meaningful ways to give to our Annual Appeal. Our “Giving Tree” is a way for families or individuals to purchase leaves representing various levels of giving: gold, silver and bronze. Our tree is prominently displayed in our high school gym lobby. We also offer other naming opportinities that are available in both of our buildings and can be paid over a period of time for up to three years. Information is enclosed for all of these wonderful opportunities to impact our school community.

Whatever level of giving you are comfortable with is a great way to support our school. Whether you give $50 or $5,000, know that your gift has an immediate and significant impact on each student’s daily experience and no gift is too big or too small.

Every dollar counts. Every gift matters. Every donor makes a difference.

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Charles Amundsen

Chairperson, Board of Trustees
