St. Mary's Guardian Angel Fund
We are thrilled to offer our Guardian Angel Program. Often, unforeseen hardships, loss of employment, or illness hinders a family's ability to meet their tuition commitment. The Guardian Angel Program allows us to help these families and provide a Catholic School education to those who may otherwise not be able to afford it.
St. Mary's School Annual Fund
forms a stable foundation for our school today and fortifies our presence for tomorrow. We approach you as friends of St. Mary’s School for support.
T his year we will use all Annual Fund donations to grow our Guardian Angel Initiative so no child will be turned away because of financial concerns.
Your investment makes a difference by…
- Giving our children an opportunity to attend a school that is strong in Catholic values.
- Fostering an environment in which each child is valued and respected in a pleasant, supportive atmosphere, and where success is expected of all students.
- Encouraging students to not only aspire to academic excellence, but to learn about and practice their Catholic faith and to develop a strong set of values and personal responsibility.
- Producing tomorrow’s leaders who are on the path to excel spiritually, academically, and socially.
- Helping us keep our facilities safe, sound, bright and engaging.
- Providing technology, books, science equipment and other resources in support of our exceptional academic program
Why Should I Support the Annual Fund?
- Tuition only covers a portion of the cost of running our school. This leaves a considerable gap per student. Like many Catholic schools, we strive to keep tuition affordable so that as many children as possible may experience the opportunity and reward of a Catholic education.
Your Annual Fund support is critical in helping St. Mary's School operate.
