On a practical level, the Annual Fund provides resources for important yearly priorities including:
In 2018-2019, our faculty members were able to attend over 45 conferences and bring those trainings right back into the classroom. We launched our Sixth Grade boat-building program for the second year in a row. We added cross-country as a sports option. One quarter of our families received the tuition assistance they needed to make an SPS education a reality. And the list goes on. Tuition and endowment revenue alone do not provide the funds necessary to cover the costs associated with supporting these opportunities for development. Without the financial flexibility provided by the Annual Fund, these additions would become question marks and maybes as opposed to a resounding “yes”.
As we move toward the future and consider serious upgrades to our historic building, we ask you to help us by making a gift to the Annual Fund today at a level that is significant yet comfortable for your family. Perhaps most importantly, your family’s participation means the most as it helps ensure that the philanthropic chain remains unbroken. The investments of past families benefit your children today, and the gifts you make now will also help enhance your child’s experience while creating a ripple effect on future students.
