HELP CARY ACADEMY CONTINUE THE
DISCOVERY, INNOVATION, COLLABORATE and EXCELLENCE
THAT HAS MADE OUR FIRST DECADE SO SUCCESSFUL 

The Cary Academy Fund’s annual campaign FOOTPRINTS INTO THE FUTURE is off to a very good start.  Thank you to all families who have donated or pledged to the campaign.  We encourage all remaining families to come on board.  Our annual campaign raises money to help with the gap between the cost of tuition and what it actually takes to educate each Cary Academy student and we want to continue all the great programs and opportunities we have available for our students.   

The participation rate of our current parents is a crucial component when we apply for outside grants and we are trying to raise this significantly in order to reach outside of our CA community for additional funding.  This is why we need every family to participate – all and any size gifts are greatly appreciated and will help increase our participation percentages. 

Listed below is where Cary Academy stands today: 

Total cash in hand       $148,179
Pledges to receive      $  41,188
Total family participation      57% 

Here is the breakdown among each grade. 

Note: Donations from families with multiple students are duplicated in each child’s grade level.

ADDITIONAL REMINDERS: 

BOXTOPS:  We continue to collect General Mills box tops for education– don’t forget to clip and save!.  Believe it or not, $.10 for every top does add up….  Just send them in to either the MS or US office or the administration building and mark the envelope “box tops”.   

CHARGER BUCKS: Our Charger Bucks program is year round so don’t forget to order gift cards or grocery cards to Lowes Foods as needed.  Orders are placed on Tuesday mornings and cards are back ready for pick up by Friday of the same week (or can be sent in the mail).  Check out the advancement webpage for more information and a complete listing of participating stores, restaurants and vendors.
