Cardinal Annual Fund Reaches 100%

It was quite a year at James River Day School. Along with the rest of the world, we were presented with a lifetime’s worth of challenges in a very short period of time. I am so pleased with how our school community rose to each of these challenges in a manner exemplifying our mission statement.
 
We are also proud of the success of this year’s Cardinal Annual Fund. For the first time in several years, we achieved our goal of $200,000. This much needed philanthropic support provided funds which allowed us to hire a school nurse, school guidance counselor, and two full-time faculty support professionals, who provided our faculty with necessary resources during a year filled with cohorts and no breaks. It also funded the difference that exists between tuition revenue funds and the actual cost of educating each student.
 
A few highlights of the success of the Cardinal Annual Fund:
100% of our goal!
100% participation from our Board of Trustees, faculty, and staff!
84% parent participation--the highest level in recent years!
More individual donors (320) and total donations (480) than we’ve had in the past five years!
 
Thank you all for your continued support of James River Day School!
 
Your belief in our school is deeply meaningful to me and to all who work here.
 
Sincerely,
Peter H. York
Head of School
