Annual giving allows us to plan for campus technology, capital projects, staffing, enrichment, and programs for academy and community needs that cost an average of $500 per student a year.Donating is easy: 1. Return donations to the Period 1 class, Main Office or Rm 106.

2. Log on to our websites to donate by Credit Card Onetime or Monthly: www.FriendsOfReed.com

3. Encourage friends, employers & businesses to donate to Reed.

Our THANKS go to all our community in this start to the Holiday Season.
