The public phase of the Making a Difference…Embracing our
Future Campaign, the Campaign to Advance our Mission began in 2007 and concluded in June, 2009 having reached over $10
million. What a wonderful
achievement for an all girls’ school during these challenging economic
times! God has been very good to
us! Notre Dame is extremely
grateful for the generosity of our alums, past and current parents, families
and friends who made it possible for us to achieve this goal.
The generosity of alums, families and friends of Notre Dame
is making it possible for the 600 current young women to receive a Notre Dame
education. Countless others in the
future will likewise be formed in Gospel values while developing body, mind,
and spirit. The first two million
dollars of the campaign are endowed monies enabling us to provide more
need-based tuition assistance for many more young women. May our good and
provident God continue to bless and reward all who have participated in the Making
a Difference Campaign advancing the mission
of Notre Dame Academy and making it possible to continue to educate women to
make a difference in our world.
