Introducing the 2012-13 Annual Giving Volunteers
The 2012-13 Annual Giving campaign is about to begin! Annual Giving is vital to the school, providing classroom technology, art and music supplies, student financial assistance, athletics equipment, and library acquisitions that tuition alone cannot cover.
We would like to introduce you to the dedicated people who have volunteered to chair the 2012-13 Annual Giving campaign. You will soon receive a letter from one of these volunteers asking you to support the campaign. Our goal this year is to increase participation from the entire Grammar community.
Prep School – Maureen & Doug Reid
The Reid family joined the Grammar School in 2008 when they enrolled their daughter, Lily, in primary. Lily is now in Mr. Curran's grade four class. In 2011 they established a 10-year gift to support both annual giving and capital projects at HGS. Maureen is Vice Chair of the HGS Board of Governors and Doug sits on the recently established Advancement Committee.
Middle School - Terry Chisholm & Derrick McPhee
Terry and Derrick have two children at HGS: Cate, grade five and Ewan, grade eight. They joined HGS in 2004 and have been tremendous supporters of the school and our campaigns ever since. Terry is the current Secretary of the HGS Board of Governors.
