Capital Campaign – Phase II

As you head into your summer break, please know that our Building on Faith, Family, and Tradition Capital Campaign continues.  We are still in desperate need of all families to respond with a pledge to help us reach the $6M goal – $3M from our parents.  We thank those families who have already pledged!

We are so blessed to have seen the completion of our new classrooms that your students will use when they return in the 2024-2025 school year.  Please click on the new video from Coach Matt Adams explaining the need for the practice fields that were needed yesterday.  You can see the full list of projects from our Campaign school website linked here and the QR code will take you directly to our Donation Page.

Our current tuition structure only includes the expenses needed to educate your student(s) for the current academic year. It does not contain any financial component toward capital additions or significant improvements to our campus, only minor maintenance repairs and periodic replacement of existing assets, and even then, we rely on grants and/or other donations to make these changes. Please prayerfully consider a sacrificial gift to help us in reaching our goal. With the implementation of the new State Scholarship program, we hope that every family will be willing to contribute to our Campaign by sharing some of your scholarship savings for the improvements identified.  Alumni Parents, check out the new Alumni Challenge we have kicked off.  Details are linked from the Capital Campaign webpage.  Your pledge will count toward the Parent goals as well as the Alumni Challenge!

The Gifts of the Spirit

During every school year we have an Annual Theme to help guide our student body. This year’s theme is The Gifts of the Spirit, which we learn about in (John 14:26): 
 
“It is through these seven gifts–wisdom, understanding, counsel, knowledge, fortitude, piety, and fear of the Lord–that we grow in holiness and are continually reminded of God’s loving presence within us and around us.”
