What is ALL ABOARD?
All Aboard is a casual evening for adults, bringing together our local community for delicious food, inspired drink, exciting entertainment, and endless comradery. You're invited to join us Saturday, October 15, 2022 at 5:00 P.M. on the campus of St. Mary Catholic Middle School.
Last year's first ever All Aboard was a tremendous success. This event benefits all five of our campuses, including St. Gabriel Elementary, St. Margaret Mary Elementary, St. Mary Elementary, St. Mary Catholic Middle School and St. Mary Catholic High School. The money raised supports the educational needs of our students and teachers including technology upgrades, school and classroom updates, exciting experiences outside of the classroom, and so much more.
Tickets for All Aboard are $50 per person, and include food, drink, and entertainment.
ALL ABOARD Cash Raffle Tickets Now Available!
Check your student's backpack! This month, All Aboard Cash Raffle tickets are being sent home with the youngest student in each SMCS family, as one way to support the fundraising goal of this event. We are asking each SMCS family to sell 8 raffle tickets. Tickets will sell for $25 each and cash raffle prizes will range from $1,000 to $2,500. For every 8 tickets your family sells, you'll be entered into a drawing for a $400 SMCS tuition voucher. One voucher will be awarded to each campus.
Once you have sold your tickets, the stubs and payment should be returned to the school office along with the tuition credit drawing slip. If you are interested in selling more tickets, administrative assistants at each building will have additional tickets and tuition credit entries.
All tickets should be returned to the school offices by Wednesday, October 12, 2022.
New This Year: PlayStation 5 Raffle!
Raffle tickets for the PS5 will be arriving on our campuses on Friday, September 30, so if you have a parent teacher conference scheduled that day, make sure to bring your checkbook and make a stop in the front office. Tickets will be available through the school offices until they sell out!
