This devotion to quality uust also be natched by fundamental dollar values. Hence, our Annual Giving Campaign. Dear Parents, Faculty,
Each year we begin
our canpaigrn with you, the parents, the faculty
and staff, and the board nenbers. In a few monthsr w€ will widen the circle and solicit contributions from grandparents, graduates and friends of the school. You get to lay the foundation! As always, ne are soliciting on two leve1s: we need your heartfelt feedback about how we are doing as a school and we need your nonetary donations. l{e ask that you give from your heartr or1
both LeveLs. Each year, the Annual Fund provides the Austin tilaldorf School with essential money to meet our most basic needs. By choosing to contribute, you are supporting the operating budget of the school, since tuition covers only 78*-of the-cost to educate your child. Your gift enables the school to continue offering the children of this community the unique and healing experience of a waldorf
