Dear Friend of Notre Dame,
Notre Dame Academy continues to
provide an excellent education based in the Catholic faith. Guided by the spiritual legacy and
educational values of the Sisters of Notre Dame, NDA remains the only
all-female school in Northern Kentucky. We are proud of our strong tradition
and look forward to our future. However, while
we strive to grow and continue offering a quality education, we are restrained
by the crippled economy and experiencing financial challenges and ask for your
support.
Our
expenses have continued to rise and the need for tuition assistance has also
dramatically increased. In this 2011-2012 school year, the difference
between what is generated through tuition and the actual cost to educate our
students is over $848,000. Divided by the approximate 600 students currently
enrolled at Notre Dame, a shortage of $1400 per student exists.
We
have worked to control our spending without compromising the quality education
for which Notre Dame is known. Maintaining an affordable tuition is a priority,
thus ensuring that NDA remains accessible to as many young women as
possible. In doing so, we have
committed ourselves to increase our non-tuition revenue.
We are relying on the
generosity of our supporters like you to help supplement the revenue which is
generated through tuition. Your investment promotes our mission of educating
young women to make a difference so that today’s students will be the leaders
of tomorrow. Please help us
fill the gap by sponsoring a student at one of the following levels:
$1400 One full year
$ 700 One semester
$ 150 One
month
$ 50 One week
Thank you
for your consideration of my request and for the assistance you provide for
NDA. Please know that I am deeply
grateful for your continued support of our mission at Notre Dame Academy.
We have much to be grateful for from our good God.
You and your loved ones are remembered
in my prayers daily.
Gratefully in Notre Dame,
Sr. Mary Lynette Shelton, SND
