Good News!
Robert Stewart Odell and Helen Pfeiffer Odell Fund (the "Foundation")
We received our first grant to support next year's tuition assistance program. We are also hoping to receive grants from other foundations that will help us to have a robust Tuition Assistance Program.
All Souls Catholic School offers our families financial assistance mostly in two ways. The Basic Fund and the Archdiocese of San Francisco Scholarship Fund, referred to as TADS. All families need to follow the guidelines from these groups regarding deadlines for submissions of applications.
Once families have completed their applications and have been notified of their assistance, if a family is still in need of assistance, you may then apply to the All Souls School Tuition Assistance Program. Financial assistance from this program will be on a case by case basis. Also, the amounts awarded will be reviewed yearly and will be based on a familiy's need and the funds that are available at the time of the application.
More information can be obtained from the office. Please feel free to reach out to us at any time.
William G. Irwin Charity Foundation
Our grant application for upgrades to our fences and gates has been accepted and has moved to the "pending" phase of the application process. We are expecting representatives from this foundation to make a site visit prior to making their final decision. At this time we remain very hopeful!
January Lunch Menu
Lunches are ordered on Schoolspeak.
Crab Feed
I appreciate the hard work of the Athletic Board and the input from other members of our school community. However, back in December it became clear to us that the Church Hall Renovations will not be completed in time for this year's Crab Feed. After a thorough review of various plans to put on the Crab Feed in the school cafeteria, it became clear that we needed to cancel this year's Crab Feed.
The Athletic Board is exploring other fundraising opportunities at this time. So keep your eyes open for those fundraising opportunities!
