Every Gift Makes A Difference          

This year is an exciting year at Cresset Christian Academy as we kick off our first Annual Fund. This year’s Annual Fund begins in September and runs through June 30, 2011.  As you know, tuition and fees alone do not cover the cost of a Christian education.  Our desire is to partner with you--matching your passion for Christian education with the needs for our Academy.

We are asking all parents, grandparents, alumni, teachers, local businesses, and friends of the Academy to support the Annual Fund. Our goal is to have 100% participation of our Academy families. Whether you can give $10, $100, $1,000 or $10,000, every gift makes a difference!

This year we are excited that the Annual Fund will support several areas of interest: 

Faculty - Cresset Christian Academy teachers love the Lord and their students and are committed to providing a quality Christian education. Your gift will help Cresset recruit and retain exceptional teachers, as well as provide ongoing professional development for them.
 
Student Scholarships - It is Cresset’s goal to help our families who face difficult economic times. Your gift to our scholarship fund will help us continue to provide a Christian education to those students whose parents have lost jobs or had their work hours cut back.
 
Science and Technology - Science and technology are ever-advancing fields. Funding these disciplines will help Cresset Christian Academy provide a superior learning environment in our enriched academic programs. Your gift will help purchase laboratory equipment and fund our ongoing computer hardware and software needs.
 
Fine Arts  - At Cresset, the arts are a fundamental part of appreciating and celebrating the beauty of God’s creation. Cresset is committed to providing an enriching experience in music, drama, art, band, and photography. Your gift will enable us to continue to provide the highest quality in our fine arts offerings.
 
Athletics - Through athletics, students learn about physical fitness, sportsmanship, and teamwork. Their Godly character is developed in testing their skills against opponents and each other. Your gift to athletics will help purchase team uniforms, PE and sports equipment, as well as help with ongoing maintenance of athletic facilities.
 
Facility Improvements - Cresset Christian Academy has been blessed with nice facilities that require money and labor to maintain. We also must keep up with Cresset’s growing educational needs and demands. Your designated gift to this area will enable Cresset to make ongoing improvements to our buildings and grounds.
