| Yikes, we're going to be new to all of this as of Sept. Just the tuition is hard enough. I don't want to be hounded for more. |

| You won't be hounded but you will be asked. That is part of the independent school culture and it shouldn't be a surprise. Everyone knows the annual fund is necessary to keep the school running. Just give $5. Other people are giving a lot, some cannot, and everyone benefits from the fund. Each family should give a stretch gift and that is individual to the different families. |

| Anywhere from $500-$3000 depending on the year and how much we have spent at the school auction. |

| At the school my children attends, the annual fund is to help "fill the gap" between tuition and operating expenses. So, we contribute roughly $1-2K per kid. |
