Dear Oxford Parents and Supporters,

Looks like the new school year has taken off successfully and we give all the credit to the hard working school staff, students and, of course, the parents. It will be another wonderful year at Oxford. As we have in the past, we are committed to provide necessary resources to promote the educational advancement and success of our students.

As we all know, our district is suffering from the immense cuts that all public institutions are experiencing. In addition, as a school of choice, Oxford does not get some categorical funds like EIA and ELAP that other schools get. In fact, some schools in our district get almost $2 million more than Oxford per year. This is why the foundation works so hard to raise money to provide quality learning environment.

Last year, we were able to equip classrooms with various hi-tech educational equipments, purchase classroom supplies for all teachers, pay for remodeling of the multipurpose room, pay for additional staff time to extend library hours, help counselors visit college admission officers to build relationships, and we also paid for training for school staff. We even helped the robotics club get started and gave scholarships to seniors. We anticipate that we will have more significant needs in the upcoming year.

We’d like to ask Oxford parents to consider participating in 2010-2011 Direct Investment Drive. Our goal is 100% participation. We suggest $250 tax deductible investment per child but we value and appreciate all donations. Every investment, regardless of the amount, counts toward our goal of 100% participation.

You can make a credit card donation on our website or you can use the enclosed return envelope. To maximize your donation, don’t forget to ask your employer about a corporate matching program. Every donation is tax deductible and kept strictly confidential.

As we already know, in many ways, Oxford provides a much better learning environment than private schools without the private school tuition. Your ongoing support will make Oxford even better place of learning for your child(ren). On behalf of the students at Oxford Academy, we thank you for investing in their education.

Sincerely,
