AN EXCITING ANNUAL FUND UPDATE
Bonnes nouvelles concernant l’Annual Fund

We are thrilled to share a progress update on the 2024-2025 Annual Fund. Thanks to the remarkable support from our FASPS community,we’ve successfully reached $288,292 with $96,708 remaining to reach our $385,000 goal! It is so inspiring to witness the strength and generosity of the community and all that we accomplish when we come together in support of a common goal. 
 
We are still striving to reach 100% participation from our community, and every gift makes a world of difference. As a reminder, we have a prize for the first grade to reach 100% participation! To date, YPK (Class of 2035), and 7th Grade (Class of 2026) are tied for the lead, each with 70% participation!
 
If your company matches but you have exceeded your match for this calendar year, please consider pledging your Annual Fund donation now and paying it in 2025. Our fiscal year ends June 2025, so the match could be applied to this school year’s Annual Fund. Matching donations help us tremendously in reaching our Annual Fund goals. 
 
Please visit our giving page www.fasps.org/giving-form-page to make a pledge or donation today. Your support will make a tremendous difference in the lives of our students.
 
Thank you, FASPS community! Merci à toutes et à tous !
