Joy of Giving

"In these ending days of high school, it occurred to me that no matter how hard I tried, I could never repay Calverton for all the love the School has given me." 

-Laura Burt `09

 Thank you to everyone who has already made a gift or pledge to the 2009-2010 Annual Giving Campaign.

DOUBLE YOUR DOLLARS  in support of Advancing Calverton Excellence (ACE)

This year, all gifts over and above an individual's gift commitment last year will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $25,000  by the Edward E. Ford Foundation to support the ACE program.

What is the ACE Program?

• It provides Academic support and enrichment for students-- The ACE Program helps students gain a jump-start on the school year by meeting during the month of August.  August classes provide opportunities for review of previously taught material so that students can focus on all new material once school starts.  These sessions also afford teachers time to work more intensely with students to prepare them more fully for AP-level courses or general coursework in subjects such as writing and math.
• It provide Professional Development for teachers-  The ACE Program also provides professional development opportunities for teachers to engage in extended planning and curricular work in the summer, attend professional workshops or training, and engage in coursework.  Great schools like Calverton recognize the need to balance deliberate planning and reflection with the daily work of the school.

As of February 18th, we have raised $246,277, 67% of our goal.  67% of parents have made a gift or pledge to date.  Below is the break-down of giving by grade level:
