2015-16 SPES FUND ENDS ON MAY 15th
...BIG THANKS to those who have contributed to our children
THIS YEAR'S SPES FUND EXCEEDS $80,000
When the school year began in August 2015, we realized that the local economy would impact every aspect of our school year. We understand, and are all e
experiencing, the current economic climate. However, SPES has vowed to continue offering our students an exemplary Catholic education at an affordable level despite any economic restraints.
In January we presented a Matching Funds Challenge for several of our grade levels. Generous benefactors pledged a dollar-for-dollar challenge up to $2500 per grade level. With THE SPES FUND scheduled to close on May 15th, the following grades have met and exceeded their challenges: 1st GRADE with $2532.23 donated and 3rd GRADE with $2524.16 donated.
Our 8th grade CLASS OF 2016 did not have a $2500 challenge but parents have generously donated $2650.00
We are still hopeful that in the next week the following grade levels with $2500 challenges will meet their goal so that we can collect every possible penny of matching funds: 2nd GRADE (currently at $13033.35 in donations), 4th GRADE (currently at $1685.84 in donations), 5th GRADE (currently at $2273.83 in donations), 6th GRADE (currently at $2184.99 in donations) and 7th GRADE (currently at $1836.67 in donations).
Though our PreK and Kindergarten levels did not have "challenge matches," they have supported THE SPES FUND with $702.50 and $1657.50 contributions respectively.
