Lancaster Mennonite School provides an excellent education in a supportive environment that nurtures Christian faith, develops character, builds positive values and enables students to discover their gifts -- thanks to the generous support of families, friends, alumni and churches.

Providing this kind of education requires generous gifts for current operations (the Annual Fund), endowment for a strong future, and facilities.

Annual Fund

This fund, our first priority, enhances our educational programs beyond the level that could be sustained through tuition, such as fine and practical arts, Spanish in the elementary schools and athletics. [Click for more information on the Annual Fund ... ]

Endowment

Each year endowment earnings are transferred to the operating budget. These earnings are an important part of our revenue stream, and Sustain Hope Endowment Campaign is focused on building a larger endowment for a strong future. [Click for more information on endowment ... ]

Campus Facilities

We celebrate the opening of the Rutt Academic Center on the Lancaster Campus and are currently addressing the urgent need to finish funding the track at the Lancaster Campus and to add a room for PreK at the Kraybill Campus so we no longer need to cap this program at one section.  [Click for more information on campus facilities ... ]

We have so much for which to be thankful and to celebrate. At the same time, challenges confront us. Therefore, as we continue the New Century Jubilee campaign, we ask for your support, prayers, investments and counsel. On behalf of our staff, current students and the many generations yet to attend Lancaster Mennonite School, I extend my heartfelt gratitude.

Shalom!

J. Richard Thomas
