Letter to Alumni, Friends, and Families

April 9, 2020

Dear Friends,
We are in the middle of the greatest battle yet known to contemporary times. Covid-19 is wreaking havoc on homes and whole countries as we speak, and Glendale Adventist Academy has not gone untouched, from the hospitalizations of family members to the deaths of some loved ones. However, we are grateful that our losses are contained. We have heard of some remarkable recoveries and outright healing of individuals who were hospitalized as a result of testing positive to Covid-19. For this, we are eternally grateful to God.

All told, the financial impact on the working families in our school community is leaving some wreckage in its trail. A number of parents have called to ask that their children be withdrawn from the school as a result of their inability to pay tuition along with other expenses. The school has offered to assist in the little ways we can by extending their payments over the summer months. This does not look like a solution for many who have lost their sources of income.

We are coming to you to appeal for financial assistance to support such families as they face these times. We are requesting that you come to our aid through your tax-deductible donations that will go directly to assist parents to meet their two remaining months of tuition payments. You may mail your checks to:
Glendale Adventist Academy
Attn: Treasurer
700 Kimlin Drive
Glendale CA 91206

Or call: (818)244-8761 8.00 AM to 4.00 PM Monday through Thursday & 8.00 to 2.00 PM Friday

You may also donate online through our website via PayPal and other payment methods at www.glendaleacademy.org. Look for the High School button and follow the prompts to the giving button.

Finally, we regret to announce that because of all the ongoing challenges with Covid-19, Alumni Homecoming and May Festival events are canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and will announce new plans as we get more clarity.

Thank you for your unwavering support for Glendale Adventist Academy.

Blessings,

Israel Olaore
Principal
