2007-2008 Annual Fund 

“You’re the Missing Piece!”

Please help us reach our goal by making your donation today!

Every student who attends the School of the Cathedral benefits from the Annual Fund. This year we will be purchasing LCD projectors for the classrooms with the funds raised. A portion of the funds also goes towards tuition assistance for our Cathedral families in need.

Won't you help us to reach our goal and send in your gift today? It's not too late! Our campaign runs through May 31, 2008.

The School of the Cathedral has implemented the Annual Fund to educate the school families, alumni and the overall community to the vision, mission, goals and needs of the school.  The Annual Fund invites the participation of those who believe in and support the mission and goals of our school. The funds that are secured allow the school to carry out the goals of the Long-Range Plan. The fund also enables the school to gain sufficient dollars to promote the advancement of various key programs.

The Annual Fund supports the general operating expenses of the School including:

	Academic programs
	Athletic programs
	Faculty enrichment- Workshop opportunities
	Computers / Technology
	Classroom supplies: Art, Music, Science and Spanish
	Grounds and landscaping
	Equipment upgrades
