ITEM #160 -"Fueling STEM"
The Leo J. and Albina Dreiling Charitable Trust again provides $250,000 in matching funds for this year’s Item #160. Each year, we work to raise Item #160 funds for the specific needs of the school as determined by the administration and its advisory councils. We are excited to announce Item #160 for ACE 51 will support SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS (STEM). This is an investment in the future of our STEM-focused areas and creating the next generation of STEM leaders!
Our goal is to energize our STEM PROGRAMS for every student. Your support will help us do just that, whether by funding classroom improvements, purchasing new lab equipment, or supporting ongoing program operations to maintain the quality of our STEM curriculum. Each donation strengthens our STEM department from the inside out.
Funds raised will ensure we have the tools and resources necessary to provide consistent, quality STEM education—keeping our labs/work areas safe, well-stocked, and up-to-date with foundational supplies and equipment. Additionally, your contribution will help cover operational needs, maintenance, and equipment repairs and support our dedicated staff so our programs can keep moving forward. Your gift at any level propels us into the future, bringing exciting discoveries to life while sustaining the educational resources our students need. Together, we can provide a bright future for science at our school. Join us on this journey—help bring STEM education ‘Back to the Future’ today!
Donations received by 3/1/2025 will be recognized in ACE publications.
The 50/50 Society is the re-imagining of "Pennies for ACE."
For years, the “Pennies for ACE” Program has been a real boost to the annual Auction for Christian Education. With the ever-changing needs of the school and the push for sustainability, we have come up with a new way to achieve both goals!
Donors to the 50/50 Society have their impact help in more ways than one! Each donation of $2,500 or more to this society will have their donation split to go towards the auction total which goes right back to the school for its most immediate needs, and the other half will go towards a sustainability fund that provides past Item #160 projects funds to maintain and sustain projects into the future!
