What a magnificent evening! Thank you to all who attended our Inaugural Terra School at Serenbe Fete! We appreciate your support. The night exceeded all our expectations and was truly an unforgettable event for our school community to come together and celebrate.
Thanks to our generous donors, we raised more than $40,000 for the Terra Annual Fund, enabling us to successfully close out the 2023-24 Annual Fund at over $250,000! This is an amazing accomplishment for the first year and helps our school lay the foundation for an important funding stream to support the school's ongoing needs. The 2023-24 Annual Fund has provided three outdoor playsets, curriculum enhancements, support staff in the elementary school, and the establishment of a second financial aid fund, distinct from Apogee.
For those that were unable to join us, we're thrilled to share an exciting announcement: the unveiling of the school's Hidden Library! On Saturday night, we kicked off fundraising efforts to build this incredible space for our learners and raised $120,000 of the $350,000 total needed. Tucked into a hill, facing the woods, and designed with the intention to be sustainable, inspire learning in nature, and foster a love of books, this addition to our school will make an impact on how we utilize our campus and how our kids learn. The library will have two separate spaces for our learners, one for our Lower School and one for our Upper School - connected by an open air, screened in porch. We are excited to bring this beautiful library to life and provide our learners with another engaging learning space surrounded by nature.
Thanks again to all who helped us make our Inaugural Fete such a wonderful night for our school. We hope to see you all in April of 2025!
