Student Aid Donations

November 6, 2007

Dear Alumni Family and Faithful Supporters:

The 2007-2008 school year is off to a positive start. 155 students are currently enrolled and receiving the benefits of the Christ centered education being provided at Ozark Adventist Academy .

Many of these students are here through your generous donations to our Financial Aid and Scholarship Funds. The assistance provided by the supporters of Ozark Adventist Academy helps lower the average cost of tuition per student by $3000.

Your donations also make it possible for us to make capital improvements and purchases that we would otherwise be unable to afford. Through your kind donations from last year’s letter writing campaign we were able to purchase an MCI bus to use in our tours and home leave transportation. We were also able to raise a sizeable amount that will go towards a new air conditioning system for our gymnasium.

As we begin to enter the Holiday seasons and approach the end of 2007, I would request that you remember Ozark Adventist Academy as a recipient for your year end tax deductible gift. Thank you for your continued support of Ozark Adventist Academy and Christian education.

God bless.

Perry F. Pollman
Principal
