The Importance of Being Earnest November 22 & 23
The Importance of Being Earnest is the most renowned of Oscar Wilde’s comedies. It’s the story of two bachelors, John ‘Jack’ Worthing and Algernon ‘Algy’ Moncrieff, who create alter egos named Ernest to escape their tiresome lives. They attempt to win the hearts of two women who, conveniently, claim to only love men called Ernest. The pair struggle to keep up with their own stories and become tangled in a tale of deception, disguise and misadventure. The elaborate plot ridicules Victorian sensibilities with some of the best loved, and indeed bizarre, characters to be found on the modern stage. Join us for this riotous tale! November 22 & 23 Doors open at 6:30 pm; Curtain at 7:00 pm The Ambrose School Auxiliary Gym $5 each or $20 per family Junior Class Concessions – treats, popcorn, and drinks!

Pastor Appreciation Breakfast October 24th
We would like to show honor and appreciation to all our school families’ pastors with a Pastor Appreciation Breakfast on October 24th starting at 8:00 am. All K-12 students were asked to write a note to their pastor, inviting them to join us for this special meal. We are so thankful for the leadership and support that our pastors and their churches give to the students. We know that the “three-legged stool” of family, school, and church are what it takes to help a child succeed. If one of those legs is weak, the stool will topple. The breakfast is not just for pastors of school families. If you are a pastor of a church in our community, and would like to learn more about our school and enjoy fellowship with other area pastors, we invite you to join us. Please RSVP to the school office by calling 323-3888 or emailing office@theambroseschool.org.
NO SCHOOL Friday, November 1
There will be no school Friday, November 1st for parent teacher conferences. Parents, please check ParentSquare for signup information.

For questions, email development@theambroseschool.org. SECURITIES We happily accept gifts of publicly traded securities. Please contact us at development@theambroseschool.org or (208) 323-3888 before transferring shares of stock to the school so that we can immediately identify you as the donor of those shares. By giving appreciated long-term publicly traded securities (held more than 12 months) directly to The Ambrose School, you may receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full value of the stock. Gifts of securities are valued on the day you relinquish control of the assets to Ambrose. None of the appreciation is taxable for capital gains purposes. Be sure to consult with your tax advisor for details. Securities Donation Form ESTATE PLANNING You may also support our school through your will or estate plan. Gifts made through your will or living trust can provide considerable future tax benefits, which allow more of your assets to pass to those you care about. Please contact us at development@theambroseschool.org or (208) 323-3888 to learn more. DONATE A VEHICLE You can donate a car, boat, RV, jet skis, camp trailer, or ??? to the school by using CarEasy.org. Simply click the link below, fill out the information, and CarEasy will do the rest. They will pick up your vehicle, sell it, then send you a tax receipt letter. CarEasy, however, retains about 50% of the selling price, so if you would like to get the highest value we recommend selling it yourself and donating proceeds to the school. Donate a Vehicle GIFTS IN MEMORY OR TO HONOR Each year, The Ambrose School receives gifts in memory of or to honor classmates, parents, teachers, students, and friends. When memorial or honoring gifts are received, we notify the family. EMPLOYER MATCHING GIFTS Many corporations offer matching gift programs for employees and their families.
