The 2013 United Way Campaign is underway! Our campaign runs from October 7th until October 18th. As educators, we know how much the outside world can negatively impact our students and their families. Many families deal with job losses, health issues and financials stresses.

The United Way partners with 34 agencies to provide help with these situations focusing on EDUCATION, FINANCIAL STABILITY, AND HEALTH. The major emphasis is funding programs within these agencies to assure success. As United Way President Cindy Gordineer states, "Dollars are just dollars until they are used effectively."

A huge amount of United Way money comes back to our schools. United Way resources and programming have been instrumental in raising the Forsyth County high school graduation rate from 70.7% in 2007 to 82.1% in 2013.

We are asking for your help in reaching our 2013 financial goal of $2,308 and more importantly a goal of 40% staff participation.

United Way pledges are done online by going to the district website and clicking "pledge now". The site will lead you through the process. Let me know if you have any questions.

This year, we have several incentives for those who are making donations, including a $25.00 Target gift card, a t-shirt, and other yummy treats. Any school that has 100% participation will have dinner cooked by our new superintendent!

Thank you so much for your generosity. Please remember that no amount is too small.
