The Annual Fund allows our school to fulfill the academic plan budgeted for each school year. As with most independent schools, the tuition alone at Palmer Trinity School does not cover the cost of educating our children, and the Annual Fund provides the resources needed to meet our budget so that Palmer Trinity can continue to provide the highest level of academics, equip classrooms with technology and innovative educational aids, and hire and retain the best teachers. If you would like to help spread the word about the importance of the Annual Fund, you can become an Annual Fund Ambassador and join a group of parents who want to make a difference.
