Annual Fund
Thank you to our 2010-2011 Annual Fund Donors! 2010-2011 Annual Donor Report

Each dollar received through the Annual Fund helps cover the gap between tuition and our operating expenses. Your contribution will help provide teaching tools, technology, and resources for classrooms. While reaching our monetary goal is important, it is equally important to achieve the greatest participation level possible. There are hundreds of thousands of dollars available in grant money, but in order to even qualify, we need 100% participation in the Annual Fund from both faculty and families. Last year, 100% of our dedicated faculty and staff contributed. Now it's your turn.

Capital Campaign
In 2004 we opened our doors to the new upper building that includes a new gymnasium, clasrooms, and a computer lab. Every month approximately $21,000 of your tuition dollars is allocated for repayment of the loan. Paying off the Capital Campaign mortgage will free up budget dollars for use in expanding the staff and curriculum.

Grandparent "Lend-A-Hand" Program
Thank You Grandparents!
With your generosity, you raised $9,800 to the Lend-A-Hand Campaign. Your support is invaluable and appreciated. We are truly blessed!

Your treasure will be put to good use. St. Joseph Catholic School principal, Mrs. Patricia Allen, was overwhelmed by your generosity and decided the best way to honor your gifts was to allocate it where it will make a meaningful impact—our school library.

Your gifts, and future gifts, will help us create the best possible reading environment for our students—your grandchildren. With almost $10,000 we can purchase much needed new books, improved technology, shelving and furniture for the school library. Thank You!
