Fall 2025

​

Dear STES Families and Friends,

​

  

At St. Thomas, we view each day as a precious gift—a unique opportunity to foster our children's curiosity, kindness, and faith. Our classrooms and playgrounds resonate with laughter, discovery, and the joyful wonder of God’s creation. This vibrant environment thrives because of the unwavering love and support from our preschool families, community, and church members.

​

Each fall, we warmly invite you to participate in our Annual Tiger Fund—the heart of our giving program. Contributions to the Annual Tiger Fund directly enhance the experiences that make St. Thomas truly exceptional:

• Engaging classrooms filled with art, music, and hands-on learning.

• Faith-infused celebrations and chapel time that nurture young souls.

• Outdoor play spaces that ignite imagination and foster a connection with God’s creation.

• Ongoing professional development for our dedicated teachers.

 

Your involvement—regardless of the amount—has the power to make a significant impact. We aim for 100% family participation, reflecting our collective commitment to the mission of St. Thomas: preserving childhood as a realm of wonder, joy, and faith.

 

Your generosity also plays a crucial role in keeping tuition affordable while ensuring that we maintain the high-quality learning environment that our families cherish. The Annual Fund helps bridge the gap between tuition and the true cost of delivering the enriching, faith-based education that your children experience every day.

​

We ask you to prayerfully consider making a gift to this year’s Annual Fund. You can easily contribute by clicking the button below, which will direct you to our online giving card. Donations can be made using a debit or credit card, by check, or by setting up a monthly charge through your Brightwheel account. Every dollar you give enables us to continue serving, teaching, encouraging, and sharing our faith with the precious children entrusted to us. Thank you for being an essential part of our community!

With gratitude,
Allison Newman

Head of School, St. Thomas Episcopal
