SCHOOL-WIDE ANNOUNCEMENTS

EVERY FAMILY. EVERY GIFT. That’s what it takes to fill the gap between tuition and the true cost of a CVCA experience. Make an immediate impact for your student by giving to the Annual Fund during October Giving month.

Our goal for October Giving is to raise $300,000 towards the Annual Fund. With $51,000 given to date, we are more than halfway to meeting a generous $100,000 matching gift challenge. Please give today.

EVERY FAMILY. EVERY GIFT. GIVE NOW.
