Ways to Support

Financial support is just one way you can help St. Mary Parish School. There are several other ways to support our school at no extra cost.  Take a closer look below at all the options available to you, your family and friends.

Did You Know?
Walk through our classrooms and computer lab and you’ll be pleased to see our students discovering, learning and engaging with the help of sophisticated technology. iPads, flat screen monitors and electronic white boards (Smart Boards) are upgrades and Technology Forward accomplishments made possible by the generous gifts received from current and past parishioners, parents, friends and alumni of St. Mary.

Continued Support is Critical to our Continued Excellence
St. Mary Parish School continues to thrive and grow despite the economic difficulties afflicting many families. That’s proof of the faith and values our parish families acknowledge that only a Catholic education can deliver. Your support helps us continue to give our students the gift of the quality Catholic education they will benefit from for a lifetime.

For every act of financial support, you are directly contributing toward each St. Mary student’s future, ensuring that we:

  • Keep tuition costs affordable
  • Maintain excellent programs
  • Update equipment and supplies
  • Pay just wages to our faculty and school staff

Here are the various ways you can support St. Mary Parish School:

Annual Appeal

To maintain the level of academic excellence St. Mary provides today, we ask for your prayerful consideration and tax-deductible donation. This annual appeal is the most significant of all our school fundraising efforts. Gifts are tax deductible to the extent provided by law. We truly appreciate your support.

Employer Matching Contribution

Current and retired employees, and sometimes their spouses, may be eligible for the matching gift programs offered by many companies. This could double or possibly triple your gift to St. Mary Parish School. Please inquire at your place of employment regarding its participation in the Matching Grants to Education Program.

Special Events

**Every other year, the St. Mary Auction Event proves to be quite memorable. Parishioners, parents and friends gather to share an evening of great food and drink, while working toward a common goal of raising money to benefit our parish and school.  It’s a great time to catch up with old friends, and an even better opportunity to make new friends, all while winning great prizes!

**Mark your calendars for the Annual Golf Outing, occurs every September.  Check back for more information.

**Soles for Catholic Education Walk is now simply, Catholic Schools Walk. St. Mary Parish School is walking to support Catholic Education and raise money for our school. Please consider making a donation and walking with us Saturday, October 15th for our local Catholic Schools Walk at Rotary Park – Menomonee Falls (9-11am).  All funds raised stay right here at St. Mary Parish School!  The impact of your donation will do even more to help our school, as generous Catholic Schools Walk sponsors have stepped up to match a portion of donations we receive.

Lands End offers more school uniform and dress code clothing choices than ever in slim, plus and husky sizes. If you’re not satisfied with any item, simply return it at any time for an exchange or refund of its purchase price.

Volunteering

Share your time and talent! There are nearly endless opportunities for you to volunteer in the front lines – the classroom, during field trips, and on the playground – and behind the scenes on various school and event committees. You’ll hear of many needs throughout the year, many of which require volunteers for a one-time occasion or brief period of time.

Take a closer look at the school ministry needs for this school year. If you find an area of interest, get in touch with the contacts you see on this form or contact the school office. Thanks in advance for your support…we couldn’t offer all of these fantastic activities without volunteers like you!

Please remember the school, its students, faculty and staff in your prayers. Together, we can make a difference.
