Head Of School Notes -- by Julie Ambler Since its founding in 1993, Woodlands Christian has held an annual auction. Proceeds from the auction benefit the general operations of the school, helping us to limit tuition increases while covering the critical costs of teacher salaries, programs and facilities. The event is also a wonderful time of fellowship, enabling parents, faculty/staff and community friends to build friendships and memories as we gather to celebrate and support our school. In recent years, we’ve also offered the opportunity to fund-aneed at the end of the live auction. Thanks to the generosity of so many, we have purchased lower school playgrounds, bleachers for the football field, lockers for the Nehemiah Academic Center, a school bus, SMART boards for every classroom from preschool through high school, and most recently funding professional development opportunities for our outstanding faculty. For this year’s fund-a-need we have chosen to invest in furnishings for our soon to be built permanent classroom building. (Photo at center is a representation only. Actual furniture purchased may vary.) As you know, our Build.
Grow. Excel. capital campaign is in full swing. It is our desire to expand our campus with a $3,500,000 permanent classroom building.
Thanks to the generosity of our families we have raised 73% of the gifts and pledges necessary for construction. As soon as the final $950,000 in gifts and pledges is raised we will break ground. Our goal is to begin construction as soon as possible this spring so that our 1st - 8th graders can move into this new building next year. However, these funds will only cover the cost of construction, not furnishings. Therefore, this year’s fund-a-need to outfit the new classroom building with tables and chairs and desks is a major part of providing our students with top quality physical surroundings to match the outstanding education they receive each day. I invite you to join us for this year’s auction, Grateful For Our Gifts, on April 13. I can promise you an evening of fun, food, and fellowship as we gather together to pray for and support the education of our students at Woodlands Christian. Additionally, if you have not yet had a chance to hear about our exciting expansion plans, I’d love to share them with you in person. Please email me at jambler@twca.net so we can arrange for a time to meet. As always, it is a pleasure to serve your family at Woodlands Christian. Thank you for entrusting us with your children’s education.
