Welcome Back
November 2018
From the Desk of Mrs. Flora
I hope you each had a restful and fulfilling Thanksgiving break. It has been a wonderful first day back with students! We heard from a great chapel speaker this morning about seeking God in all situations. There are a few things happening this week that I wanted to let you know about. Tomorrow Tuesday November 27th is #givingtuesday. This year Facebook and Paypal are matching donations made to non-profits until 7 million runs out. The giving begins tomorrow morning at 7 AM central time. Last year the 2 million ran out in just 10 minutes. We have created a fundraiser for Ambleside and the button below will take you to it. What is great about this fundraiser is all fees are waived and all donations are matched dollar for dollar. I hope you will consider giving to Ambleside and sharing this fundraiser. The money raised through this fundraiser goes right back into the school so we can continue part of Ambleside’s mission to provide a living education rich in ideas to as many students as possible regardless of ability to pay. Ambleside gives $177,000 per year in student financial aid to make this education accessible. We appreciate each and every one of our families and their support.
