Katy Logic & Rhetoric School News

🎉 Let’s Finish Strong — and Earn Some Fun Along the Way! 🎉


We’ve extended our Year-End Appeal through January 31, and that means there’s still time for homerooms and staff to earn some pretty awesome rewards!


💥 Homeroom Incentives (when you direct your gift to your scholar’s teacher):

  • 🍕 $2,000 — Pizza Party
  • ⏱️ $1,500 — Extra Recess (Grades K–4)
  • 🍩 $1,500 — Donut Party (Grades 5–12)
  • 👕 $1,000 — Extra Spirit Wear Dress Day

📚 Cypress Only (Grades 8–10) — adjusted goals:

  • 🍕 $1,250 — Pizza Party
  • 🍩 $1,000 — Donut Party
  • 👕 $500 — Extra Spirit Wear Dress Day


⭐ Staff Incentives:

  • The first 20 staff donors at each campus receive a surprise gift
  • Any amount = Sonic drink of choice ☕🥤
  • $100+ donors (by Dec. 31) entered to win a staff appreciation luncheon (plus 3 friends!)
  • If we reach $50,000, staff earn a half-day work-from-home on April 2, 2026


🎯 And if we hit our $50,000 goal, all faculty, staff, and students will enjoy a casual dress day! Every gift supports real needs across all three campuses — from choir risers and classroom books to sound equipment and student care furniture. Thank you for helping our Griffins soar and for making generosity a celebration for our whole community! 💛💙
