So last night Jeff and I went to this meeting. What transpired has got to be one of the most AMAZING and AWESOME things I have ever witnessed.
Mr. DeRuiter told us that an the school had received an anonymous gift with VERY specific instructions. Those instructions were that the balance of tuition for EVERY student of the Freshman class of 2008-2009 was to be PAID IN FULL! The Freshman class has 87 students. Then there was more. There are 44 families that have 2 students at PCHS - 30 of those have a Freshman. For the other 14 families, the balance of tuition for 1 of their students will be PAID IN FULL! There are 2 families that have 3 students (one set of triplets that are Juniors and one family with a Sophomore, Junior, and Senior) - if I remember this part correctly, the school is working to make it so they will end up paying tuition for only one of their students.
Now being a logical minded person who loves to work with numbers, I did some quick math and this is a gift of about $500,000! HALF A MILLION DOLLARS!
WHY the Freshman class of 2008-2009? Don't know, that's just what the donor was lead to do.
What if someone doesn't need this gift (and there are people that don't need it) or want to take only part of it? That can happen to! We have the option of designating our gift to another student at PCHS, or letting the finance committee determine who should get it, or using only a portion of the gift.
I/we am/are still totally BLOWN AWAY by this HUGE act of kindness and generosity! I, for one, can not wait to see what GOD does with this!
AMAZING - simply AMAZING!!!! What an AWESOME GOD we serve!!!!
