Giving

Each Saint John Catholic School Family agrees to participate in fundraising activities for the school at the time of registration. Participation can be in the form of monetary donations of at least $150 or in fundraising activities that yield a minimum of $150 for the school. Our two major fundraisers are the Annual Auction and the Annual Fund. You may complete and print our donation form here and return it to the school with your donation. You may download and print or email our corporate sponsor letter here.

Mark your calendars -- our Annual Auction will be held March 7, 2009 at the Blackbaud Atrium. See what last year's auction was like on our 2007-2008 Auction page.

We ask each SJCS family to procure at least three items worth a minimum of $25 each for the auction, as well as help supply soft drinks and bottled water for the event. Donated items can be solicited from businesses in order to meet this obligation. Thanks for your help making this major fundraiser a success each year - we couldn't do it without each and every family!

Annual Fund

The Saint John Catholic School Annual Fund drive's second year will be very special, as it coincides with our school's 60th anniversary. We plan to help fund more repairs to the school building, especially the windows as well as enhancing / expanding the curriculum. Please contact Sherry Glaab if you would like to volunteer or donate, or for the details of the full Annual Fund Plan.

Thanks to all of our supporters who helped us to exceed our goal for last year's Inaugural Annual Fund.

Remember that you may donate stock in addition to monetary gifts. Pledge cards are available in the office or by clicking here. Donations of stock are accepted and encouraged.

Don't forget to check with your company for matching gifts.

Teach About Giving - "TAG" Days

We will be having a $1 Tag Day the first Thursday of every month (see the school calendar for exceptions). In order to participate in these no-uniform days, your child must bring $1 to his or her teacher the Wednesday before the actual date. The proceeds from Tag Days go to charity.

This year, we have adopted HECTOR ROLANDO GUERRA as a new Prayer Partner. He was born 3/30/98 in El Carrizal, Honduras.

Each month we will have a tag day to raise $30 to send to Hector. There is also a jar in the main hallway for contributions, which are accepted at any time.

The Christian Foundation for Children and Aging is the Association that sponsors clients like him. Hector is now attending the Jose Trinidad Cababnas School. His favorite subject is Natural Studies, he speaks only Spanish and he loves to play football. His job at home is to carry firewood. Thank God, Hector is in good health. His mother's name is Alba Luz Melgar, she is a housekeeper and was born in 1979. His father is dead and we have no information on him. Hector has 1 brother, Juan Pablo Reins, born in 1994 and 1 sister, Maria Luisa Melgar, born 2001. Hector's family income is $15.00 monthly. However the money is seasonal! He lives in a mud hut with tile roof and dirt floors. He sleeps in a wooden bed. There are 7 people living under the roof. We are glad to be able to help him.
