Time with Tony - 5/9

 

I warmly invite you to join us for Evening with Friends on Saturday, May 16 at the Shell Center on Wrightsville Beach. A special gathering to celebrate our community and support the ongoing life of our school.

This event is more than a social evening; it is an important part of how we sustain the educational experience we value so deeply. Approximately 90% of our operating revenue comes from tuition, and each year we rely on the remaining 10% to come from auxiliary sources (primarily our summer camp programs) and the Annual Fund. Like many independent schools, we are navigating a gap between what tuition covers and the full cost of delivering a rich, mission-driven education.

Evening with Friends plays a vital role in helping us close that gap.

A highlight of the evening will be the conclusion of our auction, featuring a range of meaningful and exciting items, from teacher experiences, to personal care, and opportunities that reflect the creativity and generosity of our community. Every bid placed directly supports our ability to meet this year’s budget and continue providing the programs, faculty support, and student experiences that define our school.

Even if you are unable to attend in person, you can still make a meaningful impact by participating in the auction. Your involvement, whether through bidding, attending, or simply spreading the word, helps ensure the strength and sustainability of our school.

We hope you will join us on May 16 for an evening of connection, purpose, and shared commitment to our students and community.
