The Weiss School Annual Fund

Dear Weiss School Wolverines,

We hope that you and your child(ren) have had a wonderful start to the school year. As we reflect on a strong first quarter, we would like to express our sincere appreciation for your generosity last year. Because of your support, The Weiss School Annual Fund raised $198,375 for the 2024-2025 school year, which played a vital role in helping to offset operating costs and sustain the exceptional educational experience our students enjoy each day. This year, our goal is to raise $225,000, and we are confident that-together-we can achieve it.

Like most private and independent schools, tuition alone does not fully cover the cost of a Weiss School education. Based on our August financials, tuition currently funds approximately 84% of our annual operating budget. We are committed to keeping tuition as reasonable as possible while continuing to provide outstanding academic programs, a nurturing environment, enriched learning experiences, and the individualized attention that makes The Weiss School unique.

To continue offering the high-quality education and safe, supportive environment our families value, we rely on contributions to the Annual Fund. Your donation this year will directly support priorities such as:

• Maintaining on-site health and wellness through employing our full-time nurse
• Updating and renovating our student bathrooms and campus facilities
• Enhancing and maintaining student technology and infrastructure for maximum efficiency

We recognize that every family's giving capacity is different. Every contribution, no matter the amount, is meaningful and appreciated. This year, we respectfully ask each family to consider a contribution of $1,500 per student. We are especially grateful to families and grandparents who are able to give beyond this level, and we thank you for making The Weiss School a priority in your philanthropy.

This year's theme, Grateful Hearts, Bright Futures, reflects the heart of our community. We are grateful for the trust you place in us, the joy your children bring to our school, and the shared commitment to nurturing their growth, curiosity, and potential.

You may submit your contribution in several convenient ways:

• Drop off your donation check during car line
• Give online via the GiveSmart link on our Annual Fund webpage

We kindly ask that pledges or contributions be made by Friday, November 21, 2025.

DOUBLE YOUR DONATION: Many employers also match charitable gifts. You may be able to double your contribution at no additional cost. To see if your company participates, please visit: http://www.doublethedonation.com/weissschool.

On behalf of our administration, faculty, and staff, we thank you for your generosity, partnership, and continued support of The Weiss School.

With Grateful Hearts,

The Weiss School Leadership Team
