Little Way Day 2025

Last year’s inaugural Little Way Day was an incredible success—thanks to YOU! Your generosity strengthened classrooms, lifted up our teachers, and opened doors for families to experience the gift of Catholic education. Together, we’ve added teachers and specialists, launched new programs, upgraded classrooms, enhanced curriculum, provided financial aid, and supported major capital projects. 

Did You Know? Tuition covers only ~89% of the actual cost of a Tiger education. That leaves $1,900 per student to be fundraised. Funds raised keep your tuition affordable as well as provide scholarships, financial aid, and minimized fees. Remember, tuition is not tax-deductible, but donations are. Our bold goal this year: 100% participation to raise $325,000!

Why else does Little Way Day Matter? Little Way Day is more than a fundraiser—it’s a day that shapes the future of our school. Funds raised also help:

• Fund essential programs and enrichment - arts, learning & student support, security
• Invest in your Tiger’s future - expanded electives, extracurriculars, outdoor learning
• Provide competitive pay for high-quality faculty and staff

Let’s Celebrate Together! Our goal is 100% participation from St. Theresa families. Every grade level with 100% participation will enjoy an extra recess and a special treat. Donors will also be recognized through special giving circles:

• Lily Circle: Giving over $5,000 (July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026) - Lily Circle reception is traditionally held in September
• Shower of Roses: Giving over $10,000 (July 1, 2025–April 15, 2026) - Rose Lunch is traditionally held in May

All parents are invited to our Wrap-Up Party on October 4 at the Archer Hotel. Do you have multiple Tigers or just like celebrating? Stay the whole time! PreK–2nd: 5–7 PM and 3rd–8th: 7–9 PM


How do I give? Class ambassadors will be reaching out on October 1 to share a special video, answer questions, and enlist your support. Give early, if you wish. Our goal is 100% participation to meet our total need of $325,000. There are numerous ways to give:

• A one-time gift or pledge.
• Check payable to St. Theresa Catholic School
• Stock, Estate, or Trust Gifts (Email Chris Treadaway for details)
• Corporate Matching Gifts - STCS benefits from over $30,000 in matching gifts per year!
• Recurring Giving - payable monthly or at a specified date through June 30, 2026

How much do I give? The right amount is one that is personally meaningful to your family. Parents are encouraged to make St. Theresa their primary focus for philanthropic support while they have a current student, because every Tiger benefits from these funds. When we all give - even in small ways - we sustain a mission that is larger than any one of us.
