2012-2013 Campaign Begins
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.
Please watch this 3 minute video to learn more about 212 - The Extra Degree.
The One Fund is Countryside's annual campaign to raise funds in support of classroom needs and facility improvements. Pledge forms were mailed to each family last week. You can also find one on our website:
www.countrysidemontessorischools.org/2012-2013-donation-form
Our Faculty has 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 donations dollar for dollar. Which means, we're beginning our 2012-2013 One Fund campaign with $22,500 + $22,500 = $45,000!
Please follow our the Faculty and Board's lead and go the extra degree with your One Fund giving in 2012-2013.
 You can pay with monthly installments charged to your RenWeb account or credit/debit card.
Or make a lump sum donation (check or credit/debit card)
Thank you!
