With the Christmas season upon us, we realize you have many opportunities for charitable giving. We respectfully ask you to consider Jackson Prep in your end-of-year giving plans. A gift given before December 31 will afford a tax benefit for 2018. If you have already given, additional contributions will increase your tax benefit and help Prep maintain its mission of excellence.

Remember, no gift is insignificant.

Thank you for being a member of our Prep Family. My continued prayer is that the coming year brings health and happiness to you and yours. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.

Gratefully,
