[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi all! My name is Jen Vo and I am a Seneca Academy parent. Yes, due to the economic downturn caused by COVID-19, it was announced that the school would be closing permanently at the end of May. The families were devastated, and quickly jumped into action, determined to save the school. We have been fundraising (over $68,000 in only two days!) Tonight Fox 5 ran a segment ( link here: https://www.fox5dc.com/video/677304 ) and the response was unbelieveable! I am more optimistic than ever that we will save the school! We have some really big moves in the works... you can follow our progress, learn more, and make pledges at www.savesenecaacademy.com  and/or by following the facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/savesenecaacademy/

Seneca Academy is an extraordinary school and I would really encourage any of you who were looking forward to sending you children in the future to not give up hope ❤ My family has been there for 7 years (my daughter is currently in 3rd, my son in K, they started in preschool) and I honestly do not believe there is a better school out there ❤

I hope you all are able to save the school, but it's clear from the 990s that it wasn't just COVID. The school was having a lot of financial problems prior to that. I hope you're able to put together a lasting strategic plan that provides for long-term financial stability.

You need a development office, for one.[/quote]

And what would help you with your development problems? Stop spreading wrong information when you have no first hand knowledge of anything! [/quote]

Hmm? It's a fact that Seneca Academy doesn't have a development director. You need one in order to spearhead fundraising. My comment was entirely meant in good faith. I think it's a great school and just hope they're thinking long-term in terms of what they need. [/quote]
