Tuition paid by our families covers only 67% of the cost to educate a child. In order to keep tuition affordable, our school relies on a parish subsidy, and fundraising programs such as the Annual Fund, and Race for Education to broaden our base of support and ensure financial stability.
Our budget goal is to raise unrestricted cash gifts from donors to meet immediate needs. All gifts received will be used for general operating expenses in the current school year such as:
- Increasing tuition assistance
- Updating textbooks and curriculum
- Expanding teacher training
- Upgrading technology in the classrooms
- Enhancing art and music programs
- Meeting rising utility and insurance costs
- Maintaining building and grounds.
Donors include parishioners, school families, friends, grandparents, alumni, alumni parents, faculty, and staff. We ask that you consider donating for the benefit of our elementary children and the dedicated teachers and staff.
