SAVE THE DATE FOR GIVINGTUESDAY CAR RALLY ON DECEMBER 3RD!
Gear up and drive over to St. Theresa on Tuesday, December 3 for our annual #GivingTuesday Rally during carpool!
We are excited to celebrate #GivingTuesday 2024 with a special rally to benefit the Annual Fund, which provides for the following:
- Our Greatest Needs: Our greatest needs includes essential updates to our school campus and key projects
- Support for Our Faculty & Staff: Investing in our faculty and staff is a priority, which includes allocating budget dollars to help us retain and attract the most dedicated and exceptional teachers
- Academic & Fine Arts Program Enhancements: Join us in our mission to shape the future of our students by contributing funds that will enable us to actively acquire and implement a wide range of advanced educational and fine arts resources that will significantly enhance our students' learning experience.
The Annual Fund serves as the foundation of charitable contributions at St. Theresa. Gifts made to this fund are unrestricted and aid in covering a range of expenses that play a key role in your child's educational experience. The Annual Fund is vital in generating revenue, helping us address the ongoing requirements of a 21st century education system.
OUR GOAL FOR THE 2024-2025 ANNUAL FUND IS 100% PARTICIPATION FROM ALL STCS FAMILIES! Every gift matters - no matter the size. Get ready to unleash your generosity and help us reach our goal on #GivingTuesday, December 3rd!
