Dear Friend and Patron of Faith Elementary School:

We are writing to ask you to be an active participant in our extended Celebration of the Completion of Twenty -One Years of Christian Education Service to Families in Central Delaware.  We are conducting a solicitation drive between November 20, 2003 - February 29, 2004. Our Goal is to raise $3, 000. 00 to represent each of the 21 years we have been in operation to-date, for a total Drive Goal of $63,000.00. Your contribution will be tax deductible, as our school is an approved 501 (C)(3), or Non-Profit Organization.

Faith Elementary And Middle School Was Founded In 1982, As An Independent, Non-Denominational, Christian School.  The school has no direct link with any church; and being Christian, is not eligible for State or Federal funds.  It survives by the grace of God through parent tuition payments, fund raising activities, and contributions, both voluntary and solicited.  We do limit our formal requests for donations, though there is always a great need for support.

Our Financial Challenges Are As Present and Acute During This Term As Ever.  Our accustomed condition of need is increased primarily due to the fact that student transfers to tuition-free charter schools in our area, and students not able to return to our school due to unpaid old debts, are both at an all-time high this term This draw from our usual limited income has a significant impact on our general operations, as well as our efforts to retire old debts, and implement new Christ-centered and technological programs for our students.

God Has Ordained, Anointed, and Appointed Faith to Be A Unique Servant School.  The school continues to have it's full staff, do an excellent job of presenting effective, Christ-Centered training to boys and girls, ages 3 - grade 6; having served more than 800 students since it's founding.  We appreciate whatever role you have played in the support of our school over the years. If this is your first time to make a donation, make it a prayerful and sacrificial gift.  Expect a blessing for your generosity in God's own time.  Please use the enclosed check-off FM to indicate your personal information and gift choice.  You will be provided receipt and recognition for your participation.  God bless you during this season of Gratitude & Advent Praise.  More information about our school is available on it's website.

Sincerely in Christian Faith,

David L. Jones, Administrator
