ANNUAL FUND
Every year, many generous alumni, friends, families and supporters make voluntary financial gifts to Saint John School. In honor of our 125th Anniversary, Saint John School began to formally recognize these gifts as part of an annual fund. Gifts to Saint John School are vital to its existence… unlike public schools that rely on state and federal funding, Saint John School relies on the generosity of those who believe in the unique benefits and value of Catholic education: our church and its parishioners, families who enroll their children and participate in fundraisers, businesses that make financial gifts, and many individual donors who give generously to support our school.
Support that we receive from voluntary contributions is used for a variety of critical items:
Tuition assistance
Salaries and benefits for our dedicated faculty and staff
Classroom materials and equipment
New technology
Upkeep and maintenance to our facility
Much more
We could not do it without you, and we are excited to formally recognize our annual fund donors in an annual Honor Roll that will be published in this newsletter, on our website, and in our church bulletin. To make a gift to the Annual Fund for Saint John School, mail your gift to the office c/o Saint John School Annual Fund, 116 E. Bishop Street, Bellefonte, PA 16823.
Thank you—your support is our greatest blessing!
NOTE: 2020 and 2021 Annual Fund Appeal did not occur due to the Coronavirus Pandemic.
