Donate to the Phoenix Fund Annual Support The Phoenix Fund: Every Family, Every Year Every year, we set a goal of raising $325,000 for the Phoenix Fund, which supports the day-to-day operations of our school. Achieving our Phoenix Fund goal allows us to meet critical expenses in the current year and confidently plan for the coming year. The Phoenix Fund is a permanent and essential element of our annual operating budget and we greatly appreciate the support that our families continue to show to this effort. Phoenix Fund dollars keep classes small and well supplied. This Phoenix Fund video explains how your gifts help our school.

We appreciate the support of this small, dedicated community in helping us reach this level, and if you weren’t able to donate by the May 10 date, any gifts received by June 15 will still help us reach our 2022-2023 Phoenix Fund goal! Although we have not reached our initial Phoenix Fund goal and will need to tighten our belts a little bit across the board, we believe that our financial position remains solid and secure. With careful budgeting, we will weather this downturn and hope to return to a strong position next year. Thank you to everyone for your continued engagement in our school community, and remember it’s never too late to give!
