Annual Fund at Work
I want to thank the school community for the support for the Annual Fund and highlight some enhancements and improvements at Mead Hall that have been made possible through Annual Fund:
This summer we were able to transform the Lower School Music Room through the installation of new carpet and fresh paint. We are blessed to have a music program for all of our PS-4th grade students on the St. Thaddeus Campus. Each week they sing and/or play simple instruments as music becomes a part of their lives and they learn the theory and practice of music. We are glad that the students and their teacher Mrs. Matson can enjoy this freshly renovated classroom.
Annual Fund made possible the purchase of new manipulative kits to aid in the implementation of our new math program. These materials will provide our students with the opportunity to internalize math concepts through hands-on experiential learning
It is important that we provide a welcoming space for parents and other guests when attending conferences and meetings at the school. In the summer we redecorated the St. Thaddeus Campus Conference Room with new flooring and fresh paint. We are delighted to have this space available for meetings at the Lower School.
Safe and fun play areas are important for our students’ growth and their experience at recess. We were able to renovate our Aiken Prep Campus playground this summer. We replaced the slide, the rope swing, the roof, and some of the structure to renew it for the enjoyment of our middle school students.
Athletics is growing and thriving at Mead Hall. We initiated two new teams last year, baseball and softball, and this year we have added bowling. We are grateful for the many opportunities our students have to play sports and compete. The Annual Fund has helped to increase our athletics budget and to build our program.
The buildings of Mead Hall must be maintained and improved for our current and future students. We replaced an old and leaking roof on the Aiken Prep Campus building that provides the space for study hall and extended care for our middle and upper school students. This was a necessary capital project accomplished through the support of our Annual Fund.
We are blessed by the support of our parents, grandparents and friends!
In Christ,
Frank Sawyer
