We are almost halfway to our goal of $100,000, but we still have a long way to go to reach our goal of 100% participation. I’d love to see us reach at least 30% participation by December 1.

If you’ve been meaning to contribute, but lost the letter that came home a few weeks, you can give on-line. Be a Catalyst for Change and check out all of our Annual Fund information at http://www.exploris.org/giving/exploris-annual-fund/.

If this time of year doesn’t work for you to contribute to the school, you can download a pledge form to tell us how much you would like to contribute and when.

For those of you who didn’t get a chance to read Summer’s Annual Fund letter, here’s a timely excerpt:

We have an absolutely incredible teaching staff, but it doesn’t end there. Without the time, talents, and treasures of our parents, we’d be a pumpkin pie with no crust – all the tasty filing would be there, but we’d be missing the essential structure and support that makes us a great pie!

So with that, Happy Thanksgiving!
