St. Mary's FundWe often hear from parents that adifferentiation between St. Mary's School and otherschools is our excellent faculty and staff. Did you knowthat 100% of our faculty and staff give each year to theSt. Mary's Fund? The teachers and staff knowfirsthand how the St. Mary's Fund makes a world of difference for their students. Weencourage all our families to join them and donate to the St. Mary's Fund today. As you know, our goal is to raise $650,000 with 100% participation from our families. We havecurrently raised $285,000 from 33% of families. We are grateful to the 256 families,grandparents, faculty and staff who have already made a pledge or donation to this year's St.Mary's Fund. This week we had a successful phonathon for the St. Mary's Fund. While we didnot reach everyone, we had a wonderful response from those we did. The committee willcontinue to reach out to families to take pledges and answer any questions.

As we look at participation by grade, Grade 4 is currently leading with 48% participation, withGrades 1 and Early Preschool close behind. Which grade will get to a 100% participation first?If you've yet to make a pledge or donation, please do so now and help your grade reach 100%participation.
