School Annual Fund

- Stewardship

Starting in 2011, St. Anthony School held its first Annual Fund. It is an important goal of our Parish to continue to make Catholic education affordable for our Parish school families.

Annual Fund Basics:
- It’s Annual – that is obvious, but it is important to note.
- It is an Annual Fund Campaign not a Capital Campaign.
- Gift amounts: No gift is too small. Give an amount that you can give annually.
- Supports our Schools Annual Operating Budget
- Each year the Fund will focus on 2 to 3 key needs.
Last year our funds were used to help upgrade the school gym. The repairs were desperately needed and long overdue. We gave the gym a new coat of paint; upgraded the restrooms; installed new lights and sound panels in the ceiling; and restored the old wood parquet floor to its original condition. We again have a school gym that we can be proud of.

With the funds raised this year, we would like to upgrade the flooring in the Pre School Building, enlarge the extended care room, give the rooms a fresh coat of paint, and continue the work to upgrade our technology in the school.

In the past four years, we have upgraded our entire computer lab; put smartboards in every classroom, including the Pre School; refurbished the bathrooms in the school and annex; and lastly gave the school gym a much needed facelift. We could not have done this without support from our donors who make St. Anthony's a better place for the students.
