FELLOWSHIP FUND UPDATE
Parent Participation = 77% (vs. 90%+ goal)  
Cash Collected = $393,907 (vs. $600,000 goal)
If you have already contributed - Thank you!! If you have not contributed yet – We need your help! Once we reach 81% parent participation, the school will receive $1,000 from an anonymous donor for every percentage point after that!

Where does the money go? The six components to this year’s fund are Campus Security, Spiritual Development, Technology Tools for Teachers, Fine Arts, Auxiliary Practice Field, and Master Plan & Design. 
We plan to complete projects in each of these areas this school year, as the remaining funds are made available. Thank you in advance for helping us reach our goal! Each gift, regardless of the size, will help to complete these projects.  

Some specific projects we have been working on in two more of the six areas are:
Technology Tools for Teachers -  Improve and complete our wireless network set-up on both school campuses; purchase iPads and relevant apps for our teachers to bring a variety of new and engaging teaching methods to the classroom; purchase large wall-mounted LCD monitors for the Elementary School classrooms for showing video content, PowerPoint presentations, etc.

Fine Arts - Repair stage curtain and backstage walls; improve sound quality of drama productions and school assemblies by installing acoustic wall tiles in Gym 1 and acoustic ceiling tiles in Gym 2; build a prop storage shed; make backstage and dressing room access improvements; purchase new sound and lighting equipment.
