2012-2013 Begins
with a $45,000 BANG! 212 the extra degree
  

 

At 211° water is hot.

At 212°, it boils.

With boiling water, comes steam.

Steam can power a locomotive.

The one extra degree makes the difference.

 

This year we asked our Faculty/Staff to step up to an extra degree of giving to the One Fund.  Step up they did! Our fabulous Faculty/Staff have pledged $22,500 to the One Fund.  That's $10,000 more than last year with an average pledge of $300 per person!

 
Our Board of Trustees has agreed to match Faculty/Staff donations dollar for dollar.  Which means, we're beginning our 2012-2013 One Fund campaign with $22,500 + $22,500 = $45,000!

The One Fund is Countryside's annual campaign to raise funds in support of classroom needs and facility improvements.
