Development Activities

St. Thomas is a traditional school with a exceptional educational program designed to teach students about God's love by studying the world around them and by understanding their role in it. We strive to emphasize a love for learning as a life-long process. We are constantly updating and improving our programs to meet the growing needs of the school and our students.

Being a non-profit, private school also means being privately funded. Providing students with a superior education is costly. While more than 90% of the costs of educating our students are paid through tuition, the remainder comes from the generosity of others.

Your generosity is the seed to grow the kind of world we would like our children to grow up in and then pass on to their children. Today, there are so many worthwhile programs, organizations and projects needing support. We realize you have unlimited choices when it comes to deciding on charitable donations. We are so grateful for the generosity and support given to St. Thomas by so many.

Jeremiah Fund

The Jeremiah Fund is our annual appeal, providing individuals with the opportunity to make a financial contribution to St. Thomas. Contributions can be made as a single gift or as a recurring gift. Gifts of any amount are welcomed.

GALA

Gala is the largest fund raising event benefiting the students of St. Thomas. The evening is always filled with great food, wonderful people, fabulous silent auction and live auction items, and unlimited laughter. The success of the evening depends heavily on the support of parent volunteers and local businesses. Each year, St. Thomas asks each family to make a donation of an item or a service to be auctioned off that evening. Why not sponsor a table or one of the night's activities through a corporate or individual sponsorship? It's a great way to market your business. For more information, please contact the school office.

Other Fund Raising Activities

Throughout the year, several other fund-raising activities are in motion. Great American and coordinating with the PTF for the annual St. Thomas Pumpkin Patch are just some of the other ways St. Thomas meets its fiscal goals.
