The Annual Fund is Shelton's most essential fundraiser for the year! Why should you give:
Tuition only covers 85% of a Shelton education
Excellent teachers who teach the way our students learn
Small class sizes
Specialized educational programs
Need-based tuition assistance
A message from the Annual Fund Co-Chairs: Darcy Preheim and Jessica Slaven: to leverage their uniqueness for success.
From curriculum and technology to fine arts and athletics, your Annual Fund gift helps ensure that Shelton students receive the best education specialized for their learning needs.
Help us meet our goal!
At Shelton, every student matters, every teacher matters, and every gift matters!
