I appreciate the freedom and flexibility to what’s best for each student, and the fact that everyone, especially the children, benefits from the collective wisdom and high level of attention given to each child by the entire
staff.

The Annual Fund
The Annual Fund was established to supplement the gap between tuition and the actual cost of educating a Laurel School student. Revenue from the Annual Fund is crucial to the operation of the school and is second only to tuition income. It serves to preserve the quality of the school’s overall program and is vital to the fiscal success of the school.

Participation is the most important ingredient in the success of the Annual Fund. Gifts in any amount, from under $10 to over $10,000 are greatly appreciated. Donations of any size are important because they demonstrate the donor’s commitment to the Laurel School. All Laurel School families are expected to participate in the Annual Fund drive at a level appropriate to their circumstances. Current parents and guardians, trustees, grandparents, alumni and alumni parents contribute to the Annual Fund. All charitable contributions to the Annual Fund are fully tax deductible, and help make us eligible to apply for grants and other funding to benefit the school.

eSCRIP Program
The easiest way to support fundraising for the Laurel School, eScrip is an electronic method to keep track of grocery, gift and household purchases. Once you’ve registered any of your grocery, credit or debit cards, eScrip rebates a certain percentage of your purchases back to the Laurel School. In addition, internet shopping through schoolpop.com or schoolcash.com is another way to benefit the school through their rebate programs. Many on-line stores are available at schoolpop.com such as Amazon.com. No pre-registration is needed other than to designate Laurel School as the beneficiary when first visiting this web site.
