This week, we kicked off our 2022 Annual Fund: Partnership, the Essence of Embers. It has been exciting to see so many families eagerly donating during these first first few days!
As we all know, tuition alone does not cover our annual operating costs. Nor does it allow for the curriculum enhancements and faculty education that makes our school uniquely Embers! The funding for these items – plus tuition assistance, building improvements, and more – comes from our Annual Fund collection.
It is our hope to achieve 100% participation from our current parents, faculty, and staff. Any size donation helps light the way for our Sparks to have a successful school year ahead. We hope you will join us in donating today!
