2015-2016 ANNUAL GIVING FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN 2015-2016年度筹款活动

Parents of students who were at UHSS last year might recall that funding requests to augment all academic and extracurricular programs was $80,000.   By June it was clear that funding to meet the minimum needs in science and technology, to support music and choral programs, and to augment leadership programs was in excess of $57,000.  As of the end of last year, just under $18,000 had been raised – a shortfall of $39,000.  As of this time, equipment needs for the AP courses for this year are not met. 
去年有小孩在Uhill中学上学的家长,对学校应教学和课外活动经费的筹款需求大幅增加至$8万有所记忆,按6月当时的统计,即便仅为满足学校在科学与技术学科,音乐,合唱,领导力等课程的最低需要,需要资金$5.7万,但学年最终仅筹得$1.8万,缺口$3.9万,至此,今年AP课程所需的设备是没有实现的

As mentioned at the September 16 PAC meeting, this year, in order to meet the school needs outstanding from last year and to be able to meet additional funding requests likely to be made for this year, our goal is to raise a minimum of $150,000.  That goal may be achieved if the school receives a donation of $280 per child in the school. 
正如9月家委会会议上提到的,为了弥补去年的缺口以及今年的资金需求,今年的筹款目标至少是$15,如果每个在校生的家长平均可以捐赠$280的话,这个目标是可以实现的。

Of course, we recognize that such a donation may not be financially possible for all families.  No family should feel pressured to make a donation that it cannot afford. No student’s participation in school activities is adversely affected if his or her family is unable to make a contribution. We hope, however, that families will contribute what they are able and all donations of any amount are accepted with gratitude. PAC is also pleased to accept donations from corporations in the community.
当然,我们很清楚,这个捐款数字并非合适每一个家庭,如在财务上无法做到,任何家庭都不必要为此产生压力,任何一位在校学生也不会因为他(她)的家庭没有捐赠而受到负面影响。然后,我们希望所有家庭能尽己所能,家委会感谢任何金额的捐赠,同时也接受社区机构的赠与。

This year, please notice that cheques are to be made payable to University Hill Secondary PAC.  PAC will deposit them and then issue a cheque (or series of cheques depending upon the timing of receipt of donations) to the school representing the aggregate of all donations. 
今年捐款时,请注意支票抬头注明是给“University Hill Secondary PAC,家委会将先存入银行然后再统一给学校开出合计金额的支票(如捐款时间先后不一致,支票也可能先后开出)。

If you wish to receive a tax receipt for your donation, please be certain to print and fill out the appended Annual Giving Form fully and completely and submit it along with your cheque.  

如果你希望收到个税退税收据,请务必把附件的“年度赠与捐赠表“填好,随捐款支票一并提交。
