annual report 2014 – 2015

thank you for your support

Dear Cliff Valley Community Members,

It’s been a productive year at Cliff Valley. We have grown to have two classes in almost all grade levels, we acquired property adjacent to the school, and we succeeded in a long process of getting approval to create a new and safer campus entrance and more parking on campus. In addition, we set new records for our annual giving campaign.

Our growth and accomplishments rely on the support and efforts of our entire community. We would not be the school we are, nor would we have experienced the growth and success we have, without your support.

We look forward to another year of progress, development, and providing an outstanding educational experience for our students and families. With your support and generosity, we know Cliff Valley will continue to achieve its goals.

Thank you for supporting Cliff Valley School!

Michael Edwards, Ed.D. Janna Mansker Head of School Chair of Board of Trustees

the Mark H. Harrison scholarship fund

6

The Mark H. Harrison Scholarship Fund was established in 2009 in memory of a beloved Cliff Valley parent, trustee, and board

chair, Mark Harrison. For years Mark worked passionately to help the school grow and thrive, serving and supporting Cliff Valley

tirelessly for many years in many capacities. He exemplified the spirit and commitment that has made our school what it is today.

When he passed away unexpectedly in the fall of 2009, shock waves rolled through his family and our community. Understanding

Mark’s commitment to Cliff Valley and passion for scholarships, Mark’s siblings came forward and seeded the scholarship fund in

Mark’s name.

If you would like to donate to the Mark H. Harrison Scholarship Fund, please click here to fill out our online giving form.
