Finis�ing S�ro�g!

As we near the end of the campaign – June 30th, 2023 – we invite all members of the Southridge community to join us in reaching our goal of 100% participation.

TOGETHER, WE CAN ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY

For nearly 30 years, Southridge families have believed that together, we can accomplish extraordinary things. To truly make a difference in the world, we know that it isn’t enough to invest in this generation of students, we must also invest in the next.

The families who founded our school in 1995 understood this. They invested financially in the buildings and grounds that our students benefit from today and ensured that there would be room for future growth. Their commitment laid the foundation for where we are today – investing, once again, in the potential of our children and generations of children to come.

Southridge Was At A Turning Point

In 2019, Southridge was at a critical turning point where our ability to deliver certain forward-thinking programs, comprehensive student services and leading-edge, designoriented technology was limited by our space. That year, we launched Our Way Forward: The Campaign for Southridge, a capital fundraising campaign that would allow us to upgrade our campus to meet these needs.

To date, more than 200 Southridge families have supported Our Way Forward and we have raised more than $6 million. This is an incredible achievement, given that we had to pause the campaign during the height of the pandemic. But today, we are moving forward with more urgency.

NOW, MORE THAN EVER, WE NEED EVERY SOUTHRIDGE FAMILY TO HELP

In May 2022, our Board, which has a history of fiscal prudence, had to weigh the costs of waiting until our fundraising goals were reached, against the steadily rising costs of construction and pandemic-related delays. They decided to proceed with construction and beginning in

2023, borrowed any funds still needed to complete the work, even as fundraising continues. To ensure that we incur as little debt as possible, we are asking every Southridge family to consider donating to the campaign before June 30th, 2023.

As a community, we have always imagined the possibilities and acted on them, equipping each new generation of leaders, changemakers, artists and innovators with the tools to transform the world.

Your Support Will Have An Impact For Generations To Come

Once the Our Way Forward fundraising campaign ends, we will re-establish the Legacy Giving Program in September 2023, so that our community can continue to pay down its debt and move forward with critical campus enhancement and infrastructure projects. In doing so, we are following in the footsteps of the school families before us who steadfastly repaid the initial investment in our school grounds and buildings over a period of nearly 25 years. Like us, they believed that contribution is at the heart of what we inherit, and what we pass on.

The Southridge story is one of determination and vision. As a community, we have always imagined the possibilities and have come together to act on them. Your commitment to Our Way Forward by June 30, 2023 will ensure that we can continue to provide exceptional learning experiences and unforgettable memories for future generations of Southridge students.
