Friends & Family of St. Mary,
Every year, we extend an invitation to you to join us in supporting the mission of St. Mary School through your generous donation to our Annual Appeal. Your unwavering support is deeply appreciated, as it allows us to provide our students with an exceptional Catholic education deeply rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Over the past several years, St. Mary has diligently planned for our future. We’ve prioritized our dedicated teaching staff by increasing their salaries to compete with what public school teachers earn. Additionally, we’ve raised tuition by approximately 5% each year for the past five years. However, as is the case with most Catholic schools, tuition alone cannot cover the actual cost of education, and we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap between our income and expenses.
We humbly request that you reflect on the opportunity to make a tax-deductible contribution to our annual appeal. Your support will have a profound impact on the educational experience of each and every student, every day.
Your investment in our annual appeal plays a vital role in enabling families to afford a Catholic education while also allowing us to offer competitive salaries to our devoted faculty and staff. Every dollar raised directly supports our students in their journey towards academic, character, and spiritual development, ensuring they become the future Catholic leaders that our world so urgently needs.
Your fully tax deductible gift, large or small, means the world to us! Give today! No matter how much you give, your contribution to our community is meaningful. Your generosity supports the success of St. Mary students. We are incredibly thankful for your support and partnership.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Marcee Ervin
