The Banner School depends on gifts to the Annual Giving Fund to enrich school programs and provide the critical difference in balancing the current year’s budget. Tuition and fees cover only 90% of our operating budget, so your generosity helps to support teacher salaries, purchase computer hardware and software, provide academic enrichment materials, or underwrite our fine arts and athletic programs.
