It has been such a joy to see students back on campus, learning, growing, and spending time with their classmates. We know you have many choices for your child’s education, and we are truly grateful you’ve chosen us at Trivium.
Now that the year is underway, we’re excited to launch our Annual Campaigns: Community Investment and the Public-School Tax Credit Drive.
These two campaigns are critical to our success. They help fund the daily operations of our school and allow us to offer the excellent programs that would not be possible with public funding alone.
Each year, there is a funding deficit between what we receive from the state and the true cost of educating our students of over $1500 per student. That gap is filled through the support of generous families like yours. Your support makes a real impact.
When you give to Community Investment you help fund the most essential parts of Trivium including our amazing teachers and college counselors, small class sizes, and full-time campus security. You also make possible our robust core curriculum that includes rich fine arts and foreign language programs, along with access to dual credit courses that allow students to earn college credit while still in high school.
When you make a Tax Credit Contribution, you help us provide a strong athletics program as well as fun and affordable extracurricular opportunities for all students. These offerings enrich student life and help build a thriving, well-rounded campus community.
To the families who have already given this year, thank you. We truly appreciate your support.
If we reach 25% family participation this week we will have a special jeans spirit day.
If you haven’t given yet, we invite you to join us by making a one-time or monthly gift to Community Investment and by directing your Tax Credit to Trivium. We ask that you give at a level that fits your family’s budget. Every gift makes a difference.
Best,
Aydin Martin | Family Giving & Community Engagement Officer
