Dear St. Clare Families,

It is with gratitude and humility that I extend a huge thank you to Mary DeMoulin (Giese) for her efforts with the Feasting for Funds events. As the lead coordinator of these fundraising efforts and through each of you generously supporting local businesses, St. Clare's was able to raise thousands of dollars in financial support. That is truly incredible! After eight years of dedication and leadership, Mary informed me that she is looking to step down and pass the reins to another awesome volunteer.

THANK YOU MARY for all of your help and effort to support St. Clare School through this incredible fundraiser. If you are interested in helping with the coordination of the Feasting for Funds monthly fundraiser, please contact Katie Stanczak or Lea VandeHey at the school office.

Also, as a follow-up to previous communication, I would like to graciously thank Mr. Chad Romenekso from Icon Marketing. He has agreed to be the Financial Liaison for St. Clare School. His efforts will provide needed supports to the school budgeting and long-term strategic planning efforts. Chad and I will be working to provide sound strategies and recommendations to the School Advisory Board, Parish Finance Council, and Fr. Brian related to the school finances.

Thank you to Mary and Chad for your dedication to St. Clare's!

Lastly, please be sure to check out our newly updated school website! The registration information with enrollment packet and tuition overview is uploaded for your reference. Please review it and reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Katie Stanczak
