SERV-A-THON
What is the Servathon? Our Servathon is a “Day of Service” to help those in the community. Students raise money in teams for our tuition assistance fund, and then on April 6th, we set aside a day to serve our community with 1,000 Acts of Service—including meals and handmade gifts. Students will volunteer at local non-profits—sorting food, furniture, books, and clothes, as well as serving lunch, and visiting local assisted living homes, hospitals and local police, fire & rescue departments to share a message of gratefulness and care. Our Servathon is an opportunity for student’s to support our school and serve others!
This is the ninth consecutive year of doing such an event at CLS, and staff and students are excited for the scope of the projects. Every student will participate, from pre-school through high school in what Governor Larry Hogan has recognized as “outstanding service…to the citizens of this state” as part of the Governor’s Citation for Service which he issued for this event.
Sponsorships made in support of student service directly benefit the mission of the school, which is to educate students to think biblically and live passionately for Christ. Your giving provides for more families access to this mission. Everyone needs a little help, and a little help goes a long way. For the last several years we’ve raised between $40,000 and $75,000 annually which provides financial help for families looking for a Christian education, and we hope to raise that much again this year. All funds raised go towards Covenant Life School’s Tuition Assistance Fund that provides financial support to qualifying families to help afford a Christian education.
Here’s how you can GET INVOLVED!
1. Please get sponsored! Each student is asked to raise $200 in sponsorships. To find your sponsorship page, click on “Fundraisers” and search for your name.
2. Sign-Up as a Parent Volunteer: We need drivers, chaperones, table captains, and more!

Do you share a vision for the kind of impact a Christ-centered education has on young people?
For as little as $10 a month you can provide an invaluable resource, a regular, stable source of revenue.
When you Become a Vision Partner, your monthly giving helps to offset the cost of education beyond tuition so that CLS can continue to reach more families and impact more young lives.
IT TAKES MORE THAN TUITION
Our goal is to offer an excellent Christian school education at a tuition rate within the reach of most families who want this for their children.
So why should you contribute to CLS, even if your family is paying tuition, or has paid tuition for an alumni in the past? Tuition alone does not cover the costs necessary to educate a child. To remain accessible to more families, we keep tuition lower than the actual cost of a student’s education, and we rely on the generosity of school families and community members to cover the gap with extra funding. Without donated support every year, it would be impossible for the school to continue making the improvements and changes that continue to take us to the next level.
“When we made the decision for our sons to attend CLS, I thought that our tuition covered the cost, and I was surprised to learn that we would be requested to participate in various fund-raising activities. Now that I understand the school finances, especially in comparison to other nearby private schools, I see the need for fundraising in addition to tuition. My family also understands the vision and mission of Covenant Life School and we are eager to help advance that mission and vision.” –CLS Parent
