The class of 2018 is on track to make school history this fall. Currently, 83 percent of second grade parents are participating in the Annual Fund. If the class hits 100 percent, it will be a first for any grade level. With $100,000 left to raise, there are now 13 classes participating at rates above 50 percent.

Annual Fund Director Kerri Wilcox offers the following reminders:

Thank you to all of you who have given so generously to CWA’s annual fund!

The year is coming to a close. If you want the 100 percent tax deduction for 2007, we need to receive your gift by December 31.

We have $100,000 left to make our $500,000 goal by the first of the year. We only need to have your pledge by December 31. You can pay off your pledge anytime before June 30, 2008.

Remember you can now make your payments online or you can email your pledge to kwilcox@charleswright.org.

Look at the chart to see where your child’s class participation standing. If you have not yet given to the annual fund, please make it your priority today. A gift of any size will elevate the level of participation.
