With gratitude, Susana Cetta, LMHC Director of Annual Fund Why give to the Annual Fund?
The Annual Fund affords Palmer Trinity School the opportunity to offer its student body and faculty the essentials that make the difference between a good education and a great one. All gifts, no matter what the level, make this important difference.  Tuition covers only 90% of the total cost to educate each student. This year, the gap between tuition and the actual cost per student is approximately $1,900. The Annual Fund supports the current-year operating expenses and gifts make up this difference. Annual Fund gifts are usually unrestricted and allow the school to spend wherever needed most. What are the bigger picture advantages of a strong Annual Fund?
- Competitive faculty salaries and ongoing professional development
- Smaller class sizes with more personal attention
- Academic programs, including innovative and co-curricular course offerings
- Athletic, extra-curricular, and fine art programs
- Tuition assistance for deserving students
- Social and economic diversity
- Maintenance, physical plant and insurance for our campus.
