3-Year Development Strategy was created and adopted.

Relationship cultivation has continued under Jason's leadership.

B.

Grants Update

Received a library grant and have applied for another grant.

We've adjusted our Tull Foundation request.

Instant Grassification

Raised over $2k for this project. Video with Jason and Ansley was a hit and inspired increased giving. Video supporting our asks is a takeaway from this year.

D.

Wesley Welcome Day(s)

May be additional days than previous years. Streamlining giving benefits for simplicity and will align teacher giving incentives.
