Scrapbook Saturday

So, I haven't scrapbooked this picture yet, but I will be doing it soon! We were invited to the Dominican Campus for a little photo shoot. We were interviewed for an article that is coming out in the Harpstrings Magazine for St. Cecilia Academy. 

Ten years ago when Jordan and Morgan were in high school, I was writing a check for senior pictures. It got me to thinking about all of the students who are there on financial based scholarships--more than 40%. Tuition is $22,800 plus books and course fees. That might sound like a lot, but it's pretty low for Nashville where most private schools range in the $30,000 to $40,000 range. 

I wondered how these scholarship students were paying for things like AP courses, senior rings, senior pictures, club and trip costs. With Butch's full encouragement, I started "The Lagniappe Fund" which means "a little something extra." I've spent my whole volunteer school career in fund raising, so it was a natural for me. I called on family and friends to donate so that the students who couldn't afford the extras could enjoy the full SCA experience. 

I'm talking about this now because I want to retire at last from fund raising! I have a dollar amount that I want to reach before I'm finished. So if anyone is inclined to donate, don't hesitate to contact me!! I'm hoping that once the article comes out, we'll reach our goal. I'm looking forward to being finished asking people for money!!

Now on to the pages:
