School Pledge Drive

The yearly school pledge drive is the school’s largest source of contributed income and allows us to fund larger projects that cannot be met by tuition alone. Your contributions help fund improved curriculum, staff training, building upgrades, and many other initiatives. Each year, we set a goal of 100% participation by St. Joseph families. This year our target goal is $500,000. Some of the areas the donations will fund this centennial year are:


Endowment funds and financial aid
Reading program
Curriculum enrichment
Staff inservice
Building needs
SmartBoards
New play structure
CYO


We encourage all families to participate to the level their financial means will allow.


The cost per student is approximately $2800 more than the tuition charged for one student. The Pledge Drive provides one of the best means to close that gap. Your contribution to the School Pledge Drive will be recorded in the 2007-2008 Annual Report as follows:

Benefactors: $3500 and above*
Founders: $1500 to $3499.99*
Executives: $1000 to $1499.99
Associates: $500 to $999.999
Friends: to $499.99


*The 2008 recognition dinner will include donors at the Founders level and above as well as those volunteers with the highest levels of recorded hours. Every dollar helps us reach our target; 100% participation is our ultimate goal. Thank you to all families, alumni, and friends of St. Joseph School for your past generosity and future contributions.
