Giving Tuesday - Tuesday, November 30, 2021
Many parents don't realize that Academy tuition covers only 77% of the full cost of educating our children. Charitable gifts help make up the difference. HPC Co-Chair, Cristina Torres Archibeque has set up an "Advocacy" account to encourage other members of the Hispanic Parent Council to participate in Giving Tuesday on November 30th, A Global Day of Giving. Please join Cristina in making a donation using the link below. The goal for this year’s Academy Fund is 100% parent participation. Whatever the amount, your gift will make a great impact to our amazing independent school!

Giving Tuesday Postcard Writing
On November 16th, members of the Hispanic Parent Council joined with many other parent volunteers supporting the Academy Advancement office in writing postcards in preparation for Giving Tuesday on November 30th - A Global Day of Giving. A big Thank You to all the HPC Parents who came out to participate in this Academy-wide effort. Our goal is to continue to play a significant role in school-wide initiatives, events and community engagement.
