Thank you to the many parents who have already made a donation to the 2009/10 Annual Giving Fund. To date, we have achieved 32% parent participation and are halfway to our goal to raise $200,000.
Did you now that your donation to the Annual Giving Fund is tax-deductible? If you make your donation in the 2009 calendar year, you will be able to write that donation off on your 2009 taxes.
Every parent, faculty member, and Trustee is asked to participate in the Annual Giving Fund and to give what they can in support of our school. Every child – your child – benefits from the money we raise. Thanks to the Annual Giving Fund we have:
- New classroom furniture for our newly renovated Preschool and Kindergarten classrooms
- Expanded classroom libraries and purchased new classroom materials for the Lower School
- Funded the Accelerated Math Program for Middle and Upper School Students
- Supported local, national, and international field trips for students in all grades
- Provided professional development opportunities for our faculty and staff
- Purchased 16 Netbooks and a wireless computer lab for student use
- Provided a fiber optic network to increase campus-wide internet accessibility
It’s not too late to make a pledge or donation in this calendar year. You can:
- Go to BCD’s web site and donate online using a major credit card;
- Complete your pledge envelope and mail it in to the school; or
- Stop by the Development Office on the second floor of Albright and hand in your check to either Gwen, Maxine, or Joanne.
Please help us reach 100% parent participation and our goal of $200,000 by supporting our campaign and giving what you can.
guys, can I just suggest that instead of spending this much money on things like refurnishing classrooms or purchasing labtops, we could maybe siphon some of this stuff off into the unicef program or to help reduce the school’s carbon footprint. Honestly, I think that the students at BCD care more about helping save the enviroment than purchasing an accelerated math program. Seeing as these things concern us, maybe our opinions should be heard.
