Dear Friends of Casady,

It’s that time of year again. Autumn is on the horizon and the hope and optimism that characterizes the new school year is

evident everywhere. If you’re like us, you are grateful for a school as exceptional and nurturing as Casady.

But schools like Casady do not just appear. They are built and grown through the dedication of founders, faculty, friends,

students and parents. Excellent schools extend past the school day and become a part of the community in which we live – a

community that enriches all of our lives and offers the promise of educating the mind, body and spirit.

With all that we value in Casady, it is important to remember that our School relies on us to succeed. The Casady Annual

Fund is a vital part of our School’s daily function. The goal of $775,000 is literally a budgeted line item necessary to fulfill our

mission as a School. With our support, we can achieve this goal, and Casady can continue to reach the level of excellence we’ve

come to know and expect.

Help us prepare our students to succeed. Please consider a pledge to the Annual Fund today. Fulfillment of your donation is

tax deductible and may be made up to June 30, 2011.
