LEARN: St. Theresa’s Catholic School is blessed with a talented and skilled community.  Parents, parishioners, businesses, and friends of the school aid in countless ways to help students, teachers, and staff by offering their expertise on school board, technology/ robotics, classroom activities, lunchroom, library, academic and athletic extracurriculars and art program support.

SERVE:  School families are asked to volunteer 25 hours of service to the school or parish.  These volunteer hours help the school maximize the time of its faculty and minimize extra costs.  Additionally, strong volunteer support positions the school for grant opportunities. Grandparents, extended family, and parishioners are welcomed and encouraged to get involved at the school.

BELIEVE: Generosity provides the financial resources to make our school a success, engages volunteers, and promotes the Gospel message of being good stewards by operating on a balanced budget.

As the lifeblood of the school, all families are asked to support the St. Theresa Fund Campaign first and foremost and other important programs at their own interest level and discretion.

Many may ask what the true cost to educate an STCS student is but did you know that tuition only covers approximately 75% of the total cost?  The St. Theresa Fund provides an opportunity for parents, parishioners,  and other supporters to make a tax-deductible donation to the school to cover that $2,426 difference per child. These funds help to expand academic programs, renovate facilities, provide capital improvements, cover operating costs and ensure the long-term financial viability of the school.   Donors to the St. Theresa Fund have subsidized several significant, permanent improvements to the school and parish grounds.

The highest impact gift is made through the St. Theresa Fund because there is no fundraising cost for this effort-- 100% of each contribution is used for school needs. All school families are asked to participate in the St. Theresa Fund to the full extent they are financially able. Participation by 100% of school families is critical for the school to secure funds from outside sources. 

Types of Gifts may include:

• Outright Cash Gifts- Credit card, check, or cash gifts
• Matching Gifts- Corporate matching that doubles gift!
• Memorial or Honorary Gifts-Gifts that perpetuate the or are guided by a loved one
• Gifts of Securities or Real Estate-stock or real property
• Minimum Required Distribution- For donors of 70.5 or older

The Annual Gala is the largest and main highlight of the school’s social and fundraising events. It features a themed evening of dinner and dancing, enhances the school’s strong sense of community, and promises a fun excuse to enjoy each others company. It includes a Silent and Live Auction, games, prizes, and the famous Tuition Raffle when participants have a chance at a FREE year of tuition!   Click here to purchase tickets, sponsor a table, or donate an auction item: https://app.hellofund.com/view/YxwDEy15

The annual golf tournament offers an opportunity to support the school while enjoying a great game of golf, a women's putting contest, live music, lunch and beverages. To help make this event a financial success, many school families also invite their businesses and clients.
