You Make A Difference!
   In 2016-2017 the average cost to educate a student in Vision of
Hope’s three Bay Area schools was $8,860, and the average cost
in the five Los Angeles schools was $4,721.
                                        Tuition and fees covered
                                     only 41.6% of the actual cost
                                     to educate our children.
                                        Over 90% of students
                                     received some form of
                                     tuition assistance, while only
                                     10% were able to pay full
                                     tuition. Donors help close
                                     the gap between the cost to
                                     educate and what families
                                     can afford to pay.
                                        This Book of Dreams
                                     offers donors the opportunity
                                     to address specific needs of
                                     our schools.

“The future belongs to those who believe
               in the beauty of their Dreams”
                                   Eleanor Roosevelt

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the 2018 edition of Vision of Hope’s Book of Dreams!
Each school has provided a “wish list” for your consideration.

                                 Normally, wish lists are items
                                 that are “wanted” but not
                                 necessarily “needed.” This is
                                 not the case in Vision of Hope
                                 Schools. While our parents
                                 make significant sacrifices to pay
                                 tuition, their contribution does
                                 not cover all costs, and each
                                 school has needs beyond what
                                 parents can afford to pay.

With your gift, we can make Dominican education accessible to
families who could not otherwise afford it, and their dream of a
Catholic education can come true.

View your gift as an investment whose return will be measured by
the students who graduate from high school and college, discover
meaningful careers and become our leaders of tomorrow.
This is a future that we all can believe in!

Thank you for supporting our Book of Dreams project and making
these dreams a beautiful reality. God bless you and your family.

Gratefully,

Ann Magovern
Executive Director

grammar and science.
We learn about a subject in
class and then we watch a video
on BrainPOP, and it gives us
more information about what
we just learned. Thank you

BrainPOP –– it is really fun!
