Make A Difference 2011/2012
Help us achieve our $400,000 fundraising goal this year!
As you consider your yearly contribution, keep in mind that CSD is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Please consult your tax advisor about the tax benefits association with your contribution.
We often view heroes to be the extraordinary people in this world. Even as adults, we are quick to step back and wait for the heroes of this world to fix things. One lesson I took from the film is that the heroes of our world are really ordinary people who dare to believe, dare to hope, dare to try. I recently attended our CSD High School Performing Arts evening, which was a truly exceptionally entertaining evening. I was struck by the talent and gifts of our students. I was struck by the depth of their passion for the arts. The theme chosen by the drama ensemble was “The Hero’s Journey.” In describing what it means to be a hero, one student said, “A hero makes a difference,” and to me, those words say it all. At CSD, our staff, our parents, our community and our students make a difference. We dare to dream that education can be better for our own children and we dare to believe that CSD might be able to make a difference in the world of education for all children.
We ask that you all join us in our 2011-2012 Fundraising Campaign and Make A Difference. Consider these important words about the heroes that we can be:
I believe it is possible for ordinary people to achieve extraordinary things. For me, the difference between an "ordinary" and an "extraordinary" person is not the title that person might have, but what they do to make the world a better place for us all. I believe that words are easy. I believe the truth is told in the actions we take. And I believe that if enough ordinary people back up our desire for a better world with action, I believe we can, in fact, accomplish absolutely extraordinary things. ~ Jody Williams, 1997 Nobel Peace Prize Winner
Thank you for your continued support to help realize our dreams and remember that real heroes are the ordinary people around us who make a difference for our students and all students!
With much love and appreciation,
Joy K. Warner
