Dear ASES Family & Friends:

We are so excited about the "Cultivating Our Vision" Capital Campaign, and the opportunities it presents us!  Before us is the unique opportunity to help shape the future of our children's school, and to foster the fellowship and environment in which our children are educated.
We are all proud of the diversity at All Saints' Episcopal School, but we also share a common goal.  As parents and educators, we continually strive to improve our children's quality of education, and to provide them with unique learning opportunities.  Thanks to the dedication and perseverance of families before you, our children are being nurtured and prepared for a successful and happy future.
Take note of the growth and development All Saints' has experienced in recent years.  There is a beautiful, safe, new building that is at capacity where there were once open fields.  There is a state-of-the-art soccer field where there was once an empty lot.  Children no longer have to opt out of sports programs in order to study in classrooms with smaller student-to-teacher ratios, as All Saints' has developed a competitive sports program where there was once none.  Enrichment classes and opportunities such as Spanish, Computers, Art, Music, Physical Education, Talent Shows, Theater productions, and social events are

strong and consistent now.  At one time, they were only inconsistently offered, and offered only with limitations in time, space, and supplies.
These are just a few of the many exciting and unique changes that we have witnessed at All Saints' recently.  We also have some enduring qualities that sets All Saints' apart from the rest.  The preschool program continues to be one to which all others are compared.  Our children are taught to appreciate their history by visiting the very sites where that history took place.   After two years of study, new curriculums were adopted in all core and enrichment classes to improve the level and depth to which our children are taught.  Finally, our children are held accountable to high moral standards and ethical conduct, and are nurtured spiritually.
We must join together now to support the foundation that those before us have built, and to ensure the continued growth of All Saints' Episcopal School.  Please discuss with your families and give heartfelt consideration to what you can do to help your child's school thrive, and as a direct consequence, help your child experience a rich and exciting education that will prepare him or her for a successful future.

With regard,
Ron & Patty Christopher

In 1999, when the All Saints' Day School embarked on its first "On Good Ground" capital campaign, our kids were just in preschool and kindergarten.  Like many of you, Blain and I did not know at that time whether our children would remain at All Saints' past kindergarten or if our family would even stay in the Lakeway Area for their school years, but we understood the needs of the school and we chose to make a three year pledge to the school and to it's future.  So many people were stepping out in faith with this endeavor and we felt that our support at any level would be of benefit.  Little did we
