Dear Friends of Rowan Tree,

Soft morning light filters through the classroom windows as a teacher begins a story. A child warms a piece of beeswax between her hands, shaping it into a figure born of her imagination. Outside, a group of students work together to build a shelter—discovering cooperation, problem-solving, and resilience as they go.

These are the everyday moments at Rowan Tree Children’s School—moments when curiosity blooms, creativity takes flight, and children learn not only academics but empathy, confidence, and the joy of learning itself.

This year, we are launching our very first Annual Giving Campaign, and we have set an exciting and ambitious goal: to raise $50,000. Your support will help ensure these moments continue to flourish for every child in our care.

Providing this kind of education is a labour of love, but tuition alone cannot cover the true cost of running our school. Fundraising efforts—including this annual campaign—help bridge that gap and keep tuition as accessible as possible.

That’s why we rely on the generosity of parents, grandparents, friends, and community members like you. Every gift, no matter the size, helps Rowan Tree continue offering the programs, experiences, and dedicated teaching that make our school unique.

Rowan Tree Children’s School is a registered charitable organization. Your donation is fully tax-deductible, and you will receive an official donation receipt.

Your contribution directly supports:

• Our students – providing a strong foundation for lifelong learning through holistic academics, enriching materials, and transformative experiences that spark curiosity and wonder.

• Our teachers and staff – supporting meaningful professional development and fair compensation so their passion and expertise can continue to shape young lives.

• Our building and grounds – caring for and improving our space to make it safe, beautiful, and inspiring for today’s students and future generations.

Every contribution makes a difference. Here are a few examples:

• $25 – one new classroom book

• $50 – a wooden recorder for a Grade One child beginning their music journey

• $100 – high-quality art supplies for a classroom

• $250 – two days of busing for the Forest Friday Enrichment Day program or an experiential field trip for a class.

• $500 – supports professional development for our dedicated teachers or provides a Chromebook for a Grade 6–8 student, helping them prepare for a successful transition to secondary school.

• $1,000 – supporting operational costs in order to keep tuition accessible and below the rate of other private schools.

Together, we can give children the gift of an education that nurtures their talents, builds a strong and caring community, and sparks curiosity that lasts a lifetime. Your support ensures that Rowan Tree remains a place where every child can thrive—now and into the future.

Whether you choose to contribute $25, $250, or $2,500, the right amount is whatever feels meaningful and manageable for your family. Every gift—large or small—helps nurture the magic of Rowan Tree.

Thank you for helping us continue this beautiful, important work.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Sabrina Hale, Head of School, and the Rowan Tree Children’s School Board of Directors
