New Look for the Weekly Update!
Due to vendor platform changes, we had to update our Spartan Blast, and with that, we will adjust the title and format to be the “Spartan Weekly Update.”
We hope you like these changes, but please let us know if you have any input on the new look - please email Christine Gish.
Health & Safety - Volunteers Needed!
Temperature Takers Needed!!!
Do you have a few minutes to help out in the mornings?
Please sign-up here for a time slot to take temperatures in the front or back of the building.
COVID UPDATE
As of today, Thursday, Scottsdale Prep has seen three positive Covid cases among students and/or staff, but all cases occurred due to exposure over Fall Break and are not epidemiologically linked to our campus. They have had no contact with our community members and are following the isolation guidelines put forth by Great Hearts Academies.
A Message from the Academy Giving Office.....
Did you hear the BIG NEWS?
We just secured a $500,000 matching gift to our Capital Campaign!! This is absolutely INCREDIBLE! This means that every dollar up to $500,000 will be matched! If you have contemplated making a gift to our Capital Campaign, now is the time to do so!
We have $1 million left to raise and with this very generous matching opportunity…the FINISH LINE IS IN SIGHT! Can you imagine returning to campus next August to a completed FIELD, bleachers, concession area and restrooms? With your help, we can make this dream a reality for our students!
Please reach out to me directly to talk about your family’s gift to our current and future students! Together we truly can FUND THE FINISH! Let’s GO SPARTANS!
