GENEROSITY AND FAITHFULNESS HAVE NEVER BEEN IN SHORT SUPPLY AT GAC. IN THE EARLY 1960s MANY FAMILIES GAVE SACRIFICIALLY TO MAKE SURE THE SCHOOL COULD BEGIN. IN MORE RECENT TIMES, DONATIONS FROM FAMILIES, FRIENDS AND ALUMNI HAVE CREATED OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROGRAM AND FACILITY GROWTH THAT CONTINUES TO KEEP GAC AT THE FOREFRONT OF CHRISTIAN EDUCATION.
M
aking the decision to move away from the Magazine Sale after being National Champions for 30 years was hard. However, this fall we were overwhelmed with the support of the transition from parents, faculty, staff, grandparents and friends uniting for the common purpose of balancing the school’s budget with donations to the Annual Fund. School spirit and FUN were in huge supply, and we successfully exceeded our Annual Fund goal of $750,000. Thank you to the whole GAC family for being ALL IN!
ALL IN! • Highest percentage of participation by families in the history of the school • 100% participation from the faculty & staff within weeks of campaign rollout • Exceeded the Annual Fund goal of $750,000 with over 93% of our families participating • Faculty & staff contributions totaling over $100,000 • Over 99% of Early Childhood Village & Elementary families participated by the second week of the campaign
