Weekly eNews: October 12, 2017

Dear FIRSTNAME, 

By now, you have hopefully heard about Ascending Together, the launch of our Parent Annual Fund (PAF) and Academy Ascending capital campaign. Annual and capital campaigns play specific, critical and very different roles in advancing the Academy's mission. Academy Ascending addresses direct and specific needs such as new construction, facility improvements and increases to the endowment. While all of these projects are important to the health and longevity of the school, the PAF addresses our most current needs and provides critical, unrestricted support during the academic year. Our hope is that our families will support both, but to ensure that the school's annual operating budget is not compromised and its day-to-day programs can continue to flourish, we ask that you make PAF a top priority. Over the coming weeks, you will learn more about PAF. Stay tuned!

Sincerely,

Art Raimo
