CELEBRATING THE GENEROSITY OF OUR PARENTS, STUDENTS AND TEACHERS Five years ago, Phoenix Christian Preparatory School was in serious organizational and financial trouble. After much prayer and many who responded, we were able to bring together a group of donors, some who knew PC and some who just believed in Christian education, to loan the school enough money to help sustain our campus for a few years going forward. That loan was due in 2020. “To God Be the Glory”, the school was able to secure conventional financing early in the year to pay back the “Christian Brothers” loan! Once again, I say thank you to those who stepped up at a critical time in our school’s history! You are part of those who will someday hear, “well done, thou good and faithful servant!” Thankfully, the Giving Tree Live Auction and Gala happened right before the COVID shut-down. A large group of PC supporters gathered on campus to hear encouraging stories from parents, students and teachers and to raise a significant amount of money for the school. Many thanks to the sponsors, team of parents, students, staff, teachers, volunteers and donors. It was a beautiful evening and hugely successful, raising over $300,000! To the Alumni: Your board has felt for many years that Phoenix Christian needed a liaison with a consistent voice and more personal contact with our great group of alumni. Even during these unprecedented challenges, we decided that now was the time to create the position of Director of Alumni Relations! You will be hearing more about this role in the
4
weeks to come. Stay tuned for new communication and creative ways to connect with the school and to each other! Finally, one of the obvious unknowns ahead is the changing landscape of the pandemic that our country is facing. Jeff Blake and his team have been working diligently to prepare the campus for the 2020-21 school year. They will certainly respond to the changing data as it becomes available. Safety for students, teachers and staff will be the priority for all!! Please pray daily for protection, Divine intervention and wisdom! In HIS Service,
Monty Ortman Chairman of the Board
