Welcome to Down Home, San Luis Obispo Classical Academy’s blog! We are a classical school offering several options to make our education work for families with infants through high schoolers. Our signature hybrid program, which is part-time classroom and part-time home instruction, provides an engaging education for preschool through middle school (with full time options available). We also have a university model high school. This blog is meant to support and encourage on the home front because, in so many ways, the heart of what happens at SLO Classical Academy happens down home.

Stoothoff Family Fundraiser

Happy Friday! Today we are continuing to feature some highlights from our Family Business Meeting in January. Cozy Faber, our Development Director, highlighted a particular family that took a creative approach for their Everything Counts fundraiser. David Stoothoff came up with an idea to participate in a triathlon with his son Daniel. He wanted to challenge his son to raise a significant amount for the fundraiser while applying himself to a greater goal.

 

He says:  “I had been doing Triathlons last year and was having a lot of fun so it naturally fit for us.  My biggest challenge was to get Daniel to commit to it, which he eventually did.  I had Daniel talk to relatives and people he knows about sponsoring us and I also put it on my social media.  I used Venmo for those who wanted to use that as well as collecting cash and checks.  We asked for a minimum $20 but quite a few did much more.  I had a great time training with him (he was probably not as thrilled, ha ha).  It was exciting at the race and I know he had a real sense of accomplishment that he not only did well but was responsible for raising money.”

 

The Stoothoff Family raised just over $2000 for their Everything Counts goal. What a great way to raise money for SLOCA while spending time together as a family! Thank you Cozy and the Stoothoff family for sharing this with Down Home.
