🦅 THE FLYING EAGLES ANNUAL FUND STARTS TODAY! 🦅

Jones College Prep students do incredible things every day — in the classroom, on the stage, on the field, in clubs, competitions, and throughout our community. But this year, Jones is facing significant budget challenges:

🔹 9 staff positions lost
🔹 $62,000 reduction in flexible funding
🔹 46% drop in Out-of-School Time funding
🔹 Less than $30,000 remains in the school’s discretionary budget

That’s why the Flying Eagles Annual Fund matters more than ever.

🎯 ᴏᴜʀ 𝟤𝟢𝟤𝟨–𝟤𝟩 ɢᴏᴀʟ: $𝟦𝟢𝟢,𝟢𝟢𝟢

Friends of Jones provides more than $300,000 each year to support academics, robotics, engineering, theater, music, athletics, student organizations, transportation, competitions, school improvements, and so much more.

💙 We’re asking Jones families who are able to consider a gift of $350 by December 31. Can’t give $350? Give $25, $50, $100 — or whatever amount is meaningful for your family. Every contribution matters.

Even $30/month can help us reach our goal.

✨ And as a special thank-you, donors who give $350 or more will receive an exclusive Jones College Prep tumbler after the campaign ends!

Your support helps ensure every Eagle has opportunities to learn, lead, create, compete, and thrive.

🦅 Soaring Together, we can make a difference.

💙 Donate today and help us reach $400,000 by December 31!
