Meet Jack ’18<br />
When Jack first arrived at Sandia Prep, he was<br />
hesitant to take Mandarin, but he was intrigued<br />
with the idea of learning a language using<br />
an iPad. Tracing characters and practicing<br />
intonation proved to be a perfect fit for the<br />
12-year-old Sundevil. As Jack explored the East<br />
Asian language through social interactions<br />
and teacher guidance, he knew he wanted to<br />
continue with a second year of Mandarin.<br />
Throughout the year, Jack took advantage of<br />
the Sandia Prep experience. In science, he<br />
learned how to use a microscope. During<br />
activity periods, he played tennis, basketball and<br />
baseball.<br />
Someday, Jack may work in global finance or<br />
maybe he’ll pursue his dream of playing major<br />
league baseball.<br />
kayaks<br />
microscopes<br />
financial aid<br />
uniforms<br />
iPads<br />
costumes<br />
and more<br />
Whether it’s a microscope for middle school science or a kayak for the Outdoor Leadership<br />
Program, every gift supports the total experience at Sandia Prep.<br />
An Annual Fund envelope is included in this issue of <strong>532</strong>.<br />

Every gift matters. Make it matter to you. Making a monetary gift to Sandia Prep’s Annual<br />
Fund is one of the most valuable ways you can express your support. The amount of your<br />
gift is highly personal and depends on your family’s individual circumstances. Gifts to the<br />
Annual Fund range from $25 to more that $25,000.<br />
