Witches, ghosts, and ghouls may be scary, but missing our Halloween Assembly, Coffee & Conversations, and Parent/Teacher conferences are even scarier! We are a school of Belonging, and we look forward to sharing these experiences with you in the upcoming weeks.

Good afternoon, Topeka Collegiate families!

I am reaching out with a few updates and reminders about our 2023-2024 Annual Fund. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I want to thank the 100% of Faculty and Staff, 46% of Board Members, and 40% of Topeka Collegiate families who have already contributed with a gift! 

Our goal for the month of October is 100% participation. The more participation we have by our board, families, faculty, and staff, the easier it is for us to Shout from the Rooftops and generate support beyond our immediate community. That's why every gift is essential, regardless of the size! Please help us meet our goal with a gift or pledge in October, which can be fulfilled anytime between now and May 31, 2024.

Thank you in advance for helping us make exceptional educational experiences possible for all our children. And remember those families who contribute before the end of the day on Monday, October 23, will be entered into a drawing for primo parking in the Head of School's spot for the month of November.

To make your tax-deductible contribution, please visit the Annual Fund.
