3rd VP - Ways and Means

School Support Sunday is held on Catechetical Sunday in September. Working with the school administration and parish office, this chair will coordinate sending a letter with a dedicated “school support Sunday” donation envelope to all school families alerting all school and parish families that all funds collected in that envelope will be dedicated directly to the school fund.

Chair should also create communication to parish families asking for dedicated donation be included in the envelope.

 

Chair will also work with school to identify students to read essay’s during Sunday mass, and create communication for priest to read during the announcements.

 

Jog-A-Thon (October) - Chairperson - Jenn Garmon & Brigid Brookman

 

Students raise funds and are challenged to complete as many laps as they can in friendly competition among their classmates. Prizes are awarded for top-fundraising individuals and classes, as well as top runners for each class. Families and guests are encouraged to come to school to support our students as they jog for St. As! Every dollar raised goes directly to the school.

 

Book Fair (October) - Chairperson- Gina Campbell

 

Each fall the PTO runs a book fair in the parish hall. All money spent earns the school points towards new books for the library and classrooms.

These books are stocked at the book fair for the parent's convenience.
