Phase 2 – Science Lab and 5th Grade Classroom Expansion
$217,000 Still Needed to Reach Phase 2 Goal of $1,135,000

The Campaign for Unquowa is a multi-year effort to raise $3 million for the school’s endowment and campus improvement projects. By breaking the projects into phases, the Board has made it possible for these exciting renovations to happen as soon as possible.

We completed Phase 1 last summer – the renovation of the playing field and the installation of a new roof. The academic spaces transformed through the next phase will have a tremendous impact on our program, especially on the science curriculum. We need to reach our Phase 2 goal by April 30th in order to complete the next round of projects this summer… but we won’t get there without your support.

By making your three year pledge to The Campaign for Unquowa now you will significantly impact the school’s ability to complete Phase 2 this summer. Join the many parents, alumni, grandparents and former families who have already shown their support for these projects and for the school.

Please see Sharon Lauer or Kate Haviland in the Development Office for additional information.

“We do labs every day in Upper School science. These improvements to the lab space will allow kids to conduct multi-day experiments in all areas of scientific study. Having a greenhouse in the lab will let them explore the connections between botany, chemistry and genetics.”
– Craig Knebel, Upper School Science Teacher

“We believe that science touches everything. We’re excited to help create an environment that will further stimulate the children’s curiosity and love of the sciences at Unquowa.”
– Steve and Joan Panagos, Donors Who Have “Named” the Upper School Science Lab

“Learning by doing has always been the hallmark of our science program. The renovation of our science lab will have a tangible impact on student driven inquiry.”
– Sharon Lauer, Head of School

“The money raised through The Campaign for Unquowa will usher in a new paradigm at our school – one that allows us to stay true to our past while aggressively pursuing our future. Let this be Unquowa’s time.”
– Mark Greenawalt, President of Board of Governors

HOW IS THE CAMPAIGN DIFFERENT FROM THE ANNUAL FUND?
Like every independent school, Unquowa relies on its Annual Fund to provide vital support to the operating budget every year. The Campaign for Unquowa is a multi-year effort to raise $3 million for major objectives that are outside the operating budget – in this case, endowment and carefully identified campus improvements.
