The Sage Ridge School Annual Fund is an excellent way for you to show your financial support to the school. Each year the Annual Fund kicks-off in October and runs through June 30^th and all gifts made to Sage Ridge School through the Annual Fund are tax-deductible!

Each year, The Sage Ridge School Annual Fund seeks contributions to help us:

• Attract and maintain outstanding faculty
• Provide professional development and training for our faculty
• Implement innovative educational programs
• Supply equipment and materials for the music and arts programs
• Offer need based financial aid to qualified students 
• Books and supplies for the library
• Upgrade technology
• Furnish classrooms with materials that engage students in active learning
• Special programs for the arts, athletics and extra-curricular activities

The expense of providing an exceptional education to our children at Sage Ridge School is not covered by the tuition alone.  This year the gap between the cost of tuition and the actual cost of educating a Sage Ridge School student is $7,000 per child.  Contributions to the Annual Fund enhance our children's classroom experience on a daily basis and have an immediate effect in the year they are made.

The Annual Fund goal for 2005-2006 school year is $100,000 with 100% parent participation.
