Dear Parents, Church Families, Alumni, and Friends,
This is our 18th year to educate children; our first classes of “ Good Sammers” are seniors in college, children I knew and taught, loved and hugged and shared the love of Jesus with. as I pass our families and their big and little children in the hallways each day, I tear-up thinking about all the years I have been blessed to be a part of so many children’s and families’ lives.
I am happy to report that this last year, while financially trying, has been one of our best. We have officially expanded to 4th grade and next year we will add a 5th grade to become a full elementary school. We have added 2 amazing new teachers and the numbers don’t lie, they actually sing our praises. Our students are testing far above their grade levels, class room size is small, and we really do believe we are offering the best education possible to our current Good Sam students.
As we look to the future we are excited about expanding the physical size of our school and facilities. Continuing the legacy of Good Samaritan Church’s history of birthing a church, Good Samaritan Hospital, and Good Samaritan Village, we can now see Good Samaritan Episcopal School as the next addition becoming the best primary education facility and program in the mid-valley.
Please join with me in celebrating our great school, teachers, families, and especially kids, by supporting our annual campaign.
In Christian Love and Gratefulness,
Jane Edson,
Head of School

This chart explains how GSS’s income and fundraising revenues are distributed this year:
Tuition and Fees – 82%

ANNUAL FUND CAMPAIGN
The GSS Board of Trustees oversees the annual campaign to raise money for supplemental purchases and for financial needs not met by tuition income. All contributions are tax deductible, and many companies offer matching gift programs. Annual Giving donations may be made in several ways…

CASH, CHECK, CREDIT/DEBIT CARD: You may make a one-time gift or arrange a payment schedule. Simply fill out the pledge card or go on-line by Clicking HERE. .
APPRECIATED SECURITIES: use stocks or bonds. Your tax deduction is based on market value, but you incur no capital gains liability. Additionally, GSS will work with your broker to keep it simple for you.
REAL ESTATE: Not all such transactions are practical for the school, but many gifts of land, vacation homes, or other income-producing properties can be quite beneficial. You can give the property outright, or transfer a part as a gift.
APPRECIATED ASSETS:do you own a car, collection of rare books, fine art or other material assets? Sometimes these can be used to benefit an institution like GSS, based on an independent appraisal and compliance with current IRS requirements and restrictions.
GIFTS-IN-KIND:Your business may be able to provide services to GSS that save the school money while, possible, earning you certain tax advantages.
ESTATE PLANNING / RETIREMENT ACCOUNT / LIFE INCOME GIFTS: for more information please indicate your interest on the pledge card.
CAPITAL CAMPAIGN – BUILDING OUR FUTURE: Plans are in development for the expansion and enhancement of existing and new facilities. There will be opportunities to have a profound and lasting impact on the growth of GSS by contributing to this campaign. Please indicate on the pledge card if you would like to hear more.
