Support our Annual Fund   

   

Make your dinner reservation now for March 7th, 2013!

 

Please join us at The Inn at Willow Grove for an amazing dinner or just enjoy happy hour in the tavern. On the evening of March 7th, 10% of the night’s net food and beverage sales* will be given to Grymes. The Inn will also be selling raffle tickets. Fabulous prizes such as “brunch for 2” have been raffled in the past. The proceeds of the raffle will also go towards Grymes’ Annual Fund.

Reservations are required for dinner, so make your plans now! For details regarding “Dining for Donations” please visit the Inn at Willow Grove website. http://innatwillowgrove.com/dining-for-donations

We are incredibly thankful for this opportunity. What a delicious way to support our school!

*taxes and gratuity not included. 

Grymes recognizes that a rich tradition of learning and creativity is never static.  We rely on the  time, talents, and financial resources generously given by our community to support each and every student that walks through our doors. 

While materials and facilities greatly enhance learning, it is the teachers themselves who inspire.  Your generosity helps provide materials for our students and maintain our facilities, but more importantly, it helps support the teachers who make Grymes unique. 

The cost to educate each student at Grymes is not covered by tuition alone.  In fact, tuition only covers about 80% of the actual cost.  Grymes relies on annual gifts from our parents, grandparents, past parents, alumni, and friends to bridge the "tuition gap".  Gifts to the Annual Fund and to the Endowment allow Grymes to balance the budget each year, while keeping tuition as affordable as possible.  This year, the tuition gap per student is $2,789.60

What makes Grymes unique - passionate and caring teachers, a vibrant curriculum, a rich program in the visual and performing arts, and a diverse student body - depends on a thriving Annual Fund.  Every single gift makes a difference.
