Dear 2nd Grade Parents,

Thank you for clicking through to this website. Here are our "Top Ten" reasons to participate in the Annual Fund.
 
Top Ten Reasons to Support The Marymount Annual Fund:
 
10. We were awesome last year with 100% class participation. Let's do it again!   
 
9. Gifts to the Annual Fund are 100% tax-deductible! And, the school accepts gifts of stock!
 
8. You don't have to pay your gift all at once (though the school appreciates it when you do). You can make a pledge and make payments during the course of the school year.
 
7. At the $2,500 level and above, you get to go to a cool VIP cocktail party with Debbi.
 
6. When Marymount approaches foundations for grants for the school, one of the criteria is the level of support the school receives from its families. The higher the percentage participation, the more likely we are to receive these grants.
 
5. 100% of the faculty, staff and Board of Trustees typically contribute to the Annual Fund. If they can do it, we can do it as well!
 
4. So you don't have to receive an awkward follow-up phone call from us.
 
3. The School charges approximately $2,000 less in tuition per child than it actually costs to educate that child. We don't want the school to have to raise tuition, i.e. non-tax-deductible costs. Ouch!
 
2. Because we love:
- the smiles we see on our children’s faces at pick-up
- the fantastic teachers at Marymount
- the memorable and outstanding holiday performances
- that our kids are getting a top-notch education
- that our kids (and their parents) are making life-long friendships,
 
and... the #1 reason to support the Annual Fund...
 
1. Because integrity, a strong moral foundation, and a love of learning are qualities that we strive to instill in our children. Marymount embodies these qualities.
 
Please join us in support of Marymount and the Annual Fund.  Thank you!
