ANNOUNCEMENTS
Our 2024-25 Annual Fund finished on a great note. We share our goals, monetary and aspirational, with our LCA families, friends, Board, and corporate friends. Sixteen LCA families donated gladly, along with friends, businesses, and the Board. The Fund is used to improve programs for our students and to move to long-term sustainability. We are registered as well with Benevity.com for corporate matching donations.
We’re pleased to offer the story of how we’re supported by income as tuition and cash donations and, to a remarkable extent, by volunteer labor. We encourage all our LCA families and friends to pitchin with us. Thanks!
