The Gateway School Annual Fund Giving Campaign

$10,000 Match Reached! Lower School and Middle School Meet Their Goals

Thanks to the generosity of our Gateway community, we reached our $10,000 parent challenge match! Both the Lower School and Middle School met their challenge goals—what an amazing achievement!

Student Celebrations:

Lower School: Dress-down Day

Middle School: Pizza Lunch

Both celebrations will take place on Friday, December 12. Congratulations to our students, and thank you for supporting their success!

Your contributions ensure that Gateway continues to provide exceptional, specialized education for students who learn differently, removing financial barriers so every child can thrive.

P.S. If you missed your chance to give yesterday, you can still make a gift to support Gateway students all year long.

Today is all about YOU — the families who champion your children, partner with our teachers, and believe in Gateway’s mission to help every learner thrive.

TODAY’S PARENT CHALLENGES:

25 new donors by 5 p.m. unlocks a Lower School dress down day

25 additional donors by 8 p.m. unlocks a Middle School pizza lunch

Let’s come together and make it happen for our students!

Gateway nurtures confidence, builds joy, and opens doors to possibility.

Today marks the beginning of something special: Gateway Giving Week!

From now through December 6, we are coming together as one community to support the students, teachers, and mission that make Gateway extraordinary. This week is about gratitude, growth, and Gateway.

Here’s what makes this week extra exciting:

A generous donor is matching every gift up to $10,000 during the campaign week. Your impact doubles instantly!

BONUS CHALLENGE: If we reach 50 new donors by the end of Giving Tuesday on December 2, an additional $1,000 will be unlocked for Gateway!

Throughout the week, you’ll hear from alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and students sharing their Gateway stories. You’ll see the faces of transformation and hear the voices of gratitude that remind us why this work matters.
