We are excited to have launched another school year and already have so much for which to be grateful! Due to the amazing generosity of several donors, we are so delighted to have new and exciting additions to our campus and our programming this year.

The school, in delivering its mission, continues to have many important current needs and priorities, which is why we are excited to launch this year’s Annual Fund. As with just about every independent private school, SHMS is dependent upon our fundraising efforts to cover the intentional gap between the costs associated with maintaining our facility and the education we provide and what tuition revenues cover. Revenue raised by means of the Annual Fund includes training and professional development for our incredible faculty and the tuition assistance that is necessary to ensure all our current families and those who seek it, can continue to receive SHMS’s intellectual, spiritual and personal formation.

Operating the school to the highest standards would not be possible without the ongoing generosity of SHMS parents and the broader SHMS community of alumni, grandparents, and friends. We count on the success of our Annual Fund to ensure all of our students, as well as our staff, thrive.

For this year’s Annual Fund, we hope to raise $100,000 prior to the end of the calendar year. Please consider joining us as we plan for SHMS’s current and future success. You can be certain that your gift to the SHMS Annual Fund will positively affect the staff, students and families and enable us to continue in our mission.

I am grateful to you for your support!

Sincerely,

Elena O. Heil

Head of School
