Growing Minds, Blooming Dreams
A DECADE OF NURTURING AT CITY GARDEN SCHOOL!
We are thrilled to announce an exciting new campaign that aims to foster a greater sense of belonging and celebrate our collective journey as a school community. As we approach the momentous occasion of our 10th anniversary, we want to commemorate this milestone in a special and meaningful way.
This school year, you will see our 10th anniversary slogan: "Growing Minds, Blooming Dreams" in reference to our school's growth, achievements, and close-knit bonds that have flourished throughout the years.
Throughout this campaign, we hope to create cherished keepsakes that symbolize our extraordinary journey as a school community. The primary goal is to instill a sense of pride and belonging among all members of our school family – students, parents, teachers, and staff. By wearing or using these limited-edition items, we hope you'll feel an even stronger connection to our school's legacy and the memories we've shared together.
Not only will this campaign be an opportunity to celebrate our 10-year milestone, but it will also contribute to important school initiatives and projects. The proceeds from the merchandise sales and donations directly supports various educational programs and community engagement efforts.
We hope you'll join us in celebrating this significant milestone and take part in the "Growing Minds, Blooming Dreams" campaign. Let's create lasting memories and a stronger, more vibrant school community together.
Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm.
Jessi Musick.
Board VP & Fundraising Chair
City Garden School is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and is sustained and enriched through gifts made by parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends. This vital support ensures the school’s ability to continue to offer the most relevant and inspiring education to children today and far into the future. Your tax-deductible contribution to the Garden Fund helps fill the operating budget gap and pay for equipment, facilities and utilities, and faculty and staff salaries. Garden Fund contributions are essential to the school's day-to-day operations, as tuition does not cover the full cost of the education provided here. Your generous support ensures that City Garden School will continue to grow and thrive in the coming years. Together we are creating something very special for our children and for future generations–a place where each individual can realize his or her full potential through goodness, beauty, and truth.
Why Should I Consider a Recurring Gift?
A monthly or annual commitment can help you keep track of your giving, cut down on annual solicitations, and ensure that you continue to support CGS each and every fiscal year. Many people find recurring gifts to be the easiest way to support the school and mission that are so meaningful to them.
How Can I Use a Matching Gift to Make the Most Impact?
If you work for a company that matches employee gifts to nonprofit organizations, your donation may be doubled. If you already have a matching gift form or web application from your employer, please follow the instructions, fill it out and return it to us. If you don’t know if your company has a matching gift policy, check with your Human Resource department.
