<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:arial">Many thanks
to those of you who responded to our call to give to the Berkeley High School
Development Group. After you heard that several generous families and business
partners were issuing a challenge grant of $20,000, you stepped up and gave<b> </b>a
combined total of<b> $15,050!</b> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:arial"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:arial">Unfortunately,
this means we did not meet our challenge. The good news? - the match
donors are willing to extend the deadline to <b>May 19th, </b>please help
us get to $20,000. The new deadline will ensure our school community does
not miss out on any of those generous gifts.</span></p>
