October 2024

 

Dear STES Families and Friends,

​

  

Welcome to a new year at St. Thomas Episcopal School! We're thrilled to welcome both new and returning families. Your involvement and support are essential in creating a nurturing environment for our children.

 

This year, we are focusing on our annual giving campaign to help balance our budget and enhance our programs. Your contributions, regardless of the amount, make a significant impact. They allow us to provide quality educational experiences, maintain our facilities, and ensure that our teachers have the resources they need to inspire our little ones.

 

Our goal for the 2024 Annual Tiger Fund is to achieve 100% participation from each Tiger Family to raise $25,000. Together as a community, we can accomplish great things by supporting this school and beyond.

 

God is showing us the power in numbers take a look:

 

• STES just turned FIFTY YEARS OLD

• 51 families currently attending STES

• The cost of STES per day is right at $50

• If each family could pledge $350 ($50 a month) from Nov-May we would raise over $17,000 towards our budget goal !!!

• Anything over $25,000 gets to support of future projects which the playground is a big one!!

​

​

Contributing to the Tiger Fund provides us with the flexibility to use your gift where it is needed most. These gifts ensure that St. Thomas Episcopal School can continue to provide the educational programs, resources, and school environment that not only enhance students' learning, creativity, and social development but also enable children to thrive. The Tiger Fund allows us to attract and retain our faculty, support professional development for teachers, keep our campus secure, make necessary upgrades,  and touch nearly every facet of school operations. All gifts made to the STES Tiger Fund are applied to the cost of operating the school in the current year. Your gift will benefit our students, faculty, and school programs today.

 

We believe that every child deserves a vibrant and enriching preschool experience, and with your help, we can make that happen! Throughout the year, we’ll share more about how your contributions directly benefit our children and the community.

 

Thank you for being an essential part of our preschool family. Together, we can create a wonderful year ahead!
