A Message from Academy Giving |
|
Everything we do here at Scottsdale Prep is made possible by Community Investment donations from our families. We cannot operate a Great Hearts Academy on public funding alone, and we need the partnership and support of our families. Currently, we are at 91% of the needed amount to operate our school. This is the time of year when I reach out to all families to ask about their donation to this vital annual campaign. If you have yet to make your donation, you may make your donation here. If you would like to discuss the various ways you can support our school, please reach out to me directly. Did you know that many families make their donation over a period of months? A small monthly donation goes a long way in helping us meet our budget. Thank you for your support! You make all the difference! Thank you! Paola Gale, Academy Giving Manager |
