Your Annual Fund At Work: GAP: an atmosphere of exploration , fun , and excellence Science is a verb! Lexington School students experience exciting science lessons, receiving more hours of science instruction per week than students at any other grade school in Fayette County! At TLS every child is a scientist! Artistic expression! TLS students perform 3-4 times a year in front of a large audience and are trained in drama, music, and art by gifted, professional artists. At TLS, every child is an artist! We MOVE! Movement encourages physical, social, and emotional development. The 40 diverse acres of our campus provide abundant opportunities for exercise, recess, and discovery where children become conditioned for a lifetime of fitness. At TLS, every child is a mover and a shaker! Tuition provides your student with a great education. But the Margin of Excellence, about $3,850 per student, provides resources and experiences that make your child’s day exceptional, inspiring a love of learning that lasts a lifetime. THANK YOU! Because every single child benefits from the Annual Fund, we hope that every member of The Lexington School community will join us, the faculty, staff, and Board of Trustees, in making a gift to the Annual Fund. • 100% of faculty and staff have contributed to the Annual Fund for 27 consecutive years. This year, our faculty contributed 9% of our Annual Fund goal! • 100% of our Board of Trustees support the Annual Fund and give 20-25% of our goal. Adventures build community! Lexington School students get out of their classrooms and into the world! These adventures help children to bond with classmates and teachers, while providing some pretty incredible life experiences, childhood memories, and friendships that last a lifetime. At TLS, every child is a valued member of the community! Please join us! Every gift to the Annual Fund helps to ensure the continued quality of The Lexington School education. We strive for 100% participation, hoping that every member of The Lexington School community will help us to close The Gap and provide the Margin of Excellence for our students!
