Who could use a little extra money these days? What would you say to earning a $100 credit towards your tuition account?

Several years ago we began an incentive program for our school; for every student that enrolls because of a referral from an enrolled family, a $100 credit is given against the referring family’s tuition account. If the referring family pays their annual tuition in one lump payment, the credit is applied to the next year’s tuition.  There is no limit to the number of credits a family may earn.

You can help us help you; that’s right! Every student that we enroll increases our budget by an amount equal to one fundraising event. How can you help us reduce the amount of tuition increase from year to year? And further, how can you negate the tuition increase from your personal tuition account? The answer to both of these questions is for you to help me promote our school to our community. In addition to keeping your tuition cost down, you can also help insure that the students of our school are the type of children you want your child to be with on a daily basis. Imagine the luxury of choosing your child’s classmates. This is all possible, and all you have to do is talk up our school to your family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers.

If you need more information, or for promotional materials, call the school office and speak with Mrs. Smith or Mr. Abshire.

That’s right, only eight more days until the 2008 Human Race event. Please do all you can to raise pledges between now and next Saturday, May 10th. Every moment counts, and every dollar counts. Team leaders, and students alike, have been working very hard to meet their goals. For more information on how you can help please speak with Mr. Abshire or Mrs. Charon right away.

Thank you to all the students who participated in the Fine Arts competitions. Awards will be presented in the chapel service on Wednesday, April 30, 8:30 a.m. Parents are invited to attend this service. Now, it is time to turn our full attention to this year’s Human Race event. Please be sure and help support the programs of our school by encouraging and helping your child raise funds for this event. Over the past two years, we raised about eleven thousand dollars for our school, and this year we have set a goal to raise ten thousand dollars. This amount of money is too great for any one family to raise for our school, but together we can reach this goal. For more information call the school office, or speak with Mrs. Charon or Mr. Abshire. 

This year’s Human Race will take place on Saturday, May 10, at 8:00 a.m. The starting point will be the Herbert Slater Middle School, 3500 Sonoma Avenue, Santa Rosa, CA. This is a very important fundraising event for our school. Last year we were able to raise just over $8000 for our school. This year I am praying that we can increase this effort. I am calling upon each family to join in and participate. Please mark you calendars and make plans to attend the “Kick Off” meeting scheduled for Monday, April 7th at 6:30p.m. Information and materials will be provided at this meeting. Please help us help your children by your participation in this event.
