The Denver Waldorf School Annual Giving Campaign Online Donations
Thank you for being a part of a monumental year at The Denver Waldorf School! The many improvements to our building and classrooms (lights, furniture, fire alarm system, blackboards, and many others) mean our children are enjoying the most modern and up-to-date amenities available. In addition, there have been many program improvements at the high school, middle school and grades levels. The recent Accreditation of DWS by AWSNA is testimony to our success in this area. In order to continue and build upon our achievements, we need your help.
We hope it is clear to you that tuition alone does not cover the cost of our children’s educations. This is true for all private schools, and it is the burden we must share to provide our students with the high quality of education we insist on at DWS. The shortfall in revenue after all tuitions at DWS are received ranges (depending on the year) between $600 and $1,000 per student. As a school, we need every family to participate in offsetting this shortfall.
Today, you can nearly TRIPLE your gift to our school—and it won’t cost you a penny more!
