Fiscal Year 2009-2010
C
onsistent with the strategic plan, Notre Dame Academy revamped its financial model last year to set tuition at near-cost levels. The traditional 15% gap between tuition and operating expenses was eliminated. While the school’s Board of Trustees focused on sustaining a lean budget, donations to the Annual Fund and other fund initiatives continued to be as vital as ever to support and enrich technology, academic excellence, and other non-budgeted operating expenses. Under the guidance of the Advancement Office and Advancement Committee, the Notre Dame Academy Community and supporters rallied despite the downturn in the economy to exceed its $300,000 Annual Fund goal with 100% board, staff, and faculty participation, and 75% parent participation. Notre Dame Academy is grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Tom Mannion, parent chairs of the 2009-2010 Annual Fund, for their leadership and dedication, as well as to the countless parent volunteers who worked tirelessly on this successful campaign. The proceeds from the 2009-2010 Annual Fund enabled the school to: • Acquire over 200 Apple technology devices for teachers and students • Tile the lobby and the outer perimeter of the Assembly Room of the Elementary and Middle School • Install new carpet in the Assembly Room, lobby of the Early Years Campus, and numerous classrooms and offices • Purchase academic resources including a Scantron machine and forms, a kiln, and “Handwriting Without Tears” curriculum materials • Provide professional development opportunities to staff and faculty to enrich the academic program
