Please remember to read this whole email for all upcoming events and information. Registration Information went home yesterday. Church Contributions for Participating Rate of Tuition Dear Parents, This is a reminder that after the finance council’s announcement last week to increase church contributions from $1000 to $1200 for the 2017/2018 school year, that change goes into effect this week. If you donate $20.00 per week you will now want to start donating $23.00 whether you do this in a weekly envelope or electronically. If you donate $80.00 per month you will want to increase that contribution to $100.00. To prevent making a large sum payment later you will want to adjust your contributions starting this week.
