2012 ANNUAL GIVING KICKOFF!

You don't have to be Einstein to know that Channing Hall's Annual Giving is indispensable

This week we kick off our annual fundraising campaign for Channing Hall. I think we can all think of many reasons that fundraising for our children's school is important. Things such as- more equipment, more training, more space, more learning etc. But one other important thing to consider in addition to the "stuff" benefit is that it is a demonstration of our community involvement and commitment. Did you know we have a guiding principle for that? Channing Hall's Governance Policy Guiding Principle* V states, "Principle V - An involved community promotes optimal student learning."** By demonstrating our commitment financially as a cohesive community we are contributing to our students' growth. This is a major reason that we have a participation goal each campaign. We encourage everyone to be involved-regardless of amount contributed- to show support for our school. Did you know that we had essentially 100% participation last year? Now THAT demonstrates an involved community!

There are lots of fun, NEW, and exciting events planned by our Annual Giving committee for this Annual Giving season. For details check out this week's HOWL and coming mailings.


*More information on the Guiding Principles is available on the last page of the recent annual report that all families should have gotten in the mail this week.
**Principle V also includes other types of involvement from the community- including volunteerism,  being an ethical, respectful, responsible community.
