Supporting The Gillispie School
All independent nonprofit schools rely on fund-raising and parent volunteers to support their educational missions. Gifts, whether of dollars or time, are vital to Gillispie’s success.
Fund Raising Activities
The Annual Giving Campaign
As is the case at most independent schools, the income generated by tuition at Gillispie does not cover the cost of educating a child. The Annual Giving Campaign bridges the shortfall between tuition income and expenses. Your donation to the school’s most important campaign is 100% tax-deductible. The Gillispie School Board of Trustees, families, faculty and staff have participated at the 100% level for three consecutive years. We are proud of this extraordinary effort.
eScrip
An easy way to support the School is to participate in the eScrip program. By registering with eScrip by phone or online, a percentage of purchases at Vons will be donated to the school.
Spring Gala & Auction
This yearly auction and dinner event directly benefits the children of The Gillispie School by providing funds independent of the school’s operating budget. The event is organized by parent volunteers and provides a festive evening for parents and friends. Areas of volunteer opportunities include a silent, live and wine auction.
Warwick's Open House
October, 2009
A fall tradition at the Gillispie School has been an evening of pre-holiday shopping at Warwick's Books, Stationery and Gift store. Warwick's generously donates 20% of the proceeds from sales made during this event to the school.
In-School Involvement
Class Volunteers
Parents often volunteer in their children's classes, assisting teachers with various classroom activities, field trips and class parties. Room parents work with teachers to coordinate parent volunteers.
