Dear Families,
You will soon be receiving our Annual Appeal Letter in the mail, and I thank you in advance for considering a donation to our school. I am deeply grateful and humbled by the sacrifices you make to afford a quality education for your children, so I recognize the strain of asking for more. My true goal is to gain
bragging rights to share with other potential donors to our school. I am working toward 100% parti
cipation from our School Board, our faculty and our families. Even a small amount is a donation and can help me realize this goal so that I can share our incredible support with the Diocese and the greater community. We know we have a wonderful school - I would love to show our 100% belief in that fact. Thank you for your prayerful consideration of this fund.
God Bless,
Patti Culbreth
