Dear MGAES Families,
Thank you!
Thank you for standing by us and supporting us. We wish we could find the words to express how much it means to us that you have continued to support our teachers, our staff and allowed us to continue to teach your children. We truely MISS them and we miss you.
We know that times are confusing and difficult and that you have questions. A question we have heard from some is if we are able to discount tuition. We get it, we understand and we wish that we could. However, our school operates on a fixed budget and those budget items do not simply go away because we are not physically in the building at this time. When these difficult times are over, we will come back stronger than ever, however that means that we need to be business minded and carefully manage our funds to ensure that we can continue to provide a quality Adventist education.
That said, we DO understand that many of you have had hours cut and jobs lost. We do not know your specific needs right now, some of you may need groceries, some may need a faster internet for all of the eLearning and some of you may just need toilet paper. Late this week, we are sending each family a check for $50 to spend on whatever your needs are right now, no questions asked. We know that it isn't much and from the bottom of our hearts, we wish we could do more for each of you. We hope that in some small way, it helps you.
Please watch your mailbox and know that we are thinking of you, praying for you and waiting until we can see you again!
Sincerely,
Ric Peinado, Jessica Minden, Tina Heinrich and Bette Wheeling
Your MGAES Office Administration
