Goals of the
Initiative
A funding initiative is typically designed
to raise money for an array of needs. The
Get Healthy funding initiative, launched
in the fall of 2006, has three critical
goals:
- To significantly reduce system-wide
debt for Grand Rapids Christian Schools
- To
build endowment for a stronger financial
future
- To improve the health, wellness,
and fitness facilities at Christian High
(for details, see Capital
Improvements)
All three facets of the funding initiative
are important because, together, they
help position Grand Rapids Christian Schools
for growth.
Counting the Benefits
The Get Healthy initiative can mean many
things for students, families, and other
supporters, including:
- Helping Grand Rapids
Christian Schools retire a significant
portion of its $17 million long-term
debt.
- Making more money available for
tuition assistance through a stronger
endowment.
- Providing students with new
ways to discover healthy habits.
- Making
needed improvements to our athletic stadium
and competition gymnasium.
- Expanding athletic
opportunities for student athletes of
all ages.
- Applying LEED (Leadership in
Environmental and Energy Design) principles
to the construction process.
- Keeping Christian
education affordable for as many families
as possible.
- Showing our kids how to praise
and serve God with their whole being.
