The Annual Fund
You Can Make A Difference!
This year (2010-2011) our Fundraising Campaign
goal is to raise $1,000,000!
The Annual Fund provides:
- needed financial aid for many of our students;
- support for our science, technology, sports, drama, art and music programs;
- funding for our transition program (helping our students and parents prepare for the change to a new school);
- funding for teacher retention and recruitment.
Thank you! We appreciate each donor’s contribution and are honored to recognize your gifts in special ways. |

Memorial Giving
Carol Murray
“Carol Murray served The Charles Armstrong School for 20 years. Her contributions to the growth and development of the school in her role as a teacher, as The Head of School for 10 years, and as the first Director of Educational Research and Development were vitally important to the success of the school. Her creative and collaborative abilities were notable. Throughout her career she worked tirelessly to better the educational programs for children with learning differences.” Wilbur Mattison, Jr. M.D.
The Charles Armstrong School is accepting gifts in memory of Carol Murray to honor her more than 21 years of service to the school. The funds will be used to support the CAS Library in recognition of Carol’s dedication to the school and its students.
Matching Gifts
A matching gift from your employer enhances the value of your gift. Because you have donated to CAS your company may match, double or even triple your gift! Please ask your employer if they have a matching gift program. If they do, they will provide you with a form that you can send to us. We will verify with your employer that you have contributed and complete the paperwork process.
