In 2020 Redeemer launched the Cultivating Growth Capital Campaign. With an ambitious goal of raising $2.2M to expand and improve our facilities, and start an endowment. Today we are joined with Board Vice Chair, Kemper Funkhouser, to recap the campaign. How much money was raised, how have we spent it, what challenges did we face along the way, and what's next. 

On today's episode we're talking with Ashleigh Funkhouser, Anna Lee, and Caroline Allison who, together, lead Redeemer's Parents Association. Our conversation looks at the purpose of the Parents Association, what they do throughout the year, and how other parents can become more involved with building community at Redeemer Classical School. We hope you enjoy!

Will AI only fur...
