Friends of St. Peters,

This season, as we give thanks for our St. Peter’s family, we ask the Church and School community to participate in the Friendsgiving Annual Fund campaign. This campaign is essential to the vitality of our school and supports our commitment to providing a quality educational experience for our precious children. 
 
SPPAT (St. Peter’s Parents and Teachers) raises money for special projects through the annual APEX Fun Run and spring auction. However, funds from Friendsgiving are needed to bridge the gap between tuition revenue and the cost of operating our school’s programs and maintaining our beautiful campus. With the support of donors like you, St. Peter’s remains at the forefront of independent education. 
 
I invite you to Walk with Us as we embark on this year’s Friendsgiving Annual Fund. Please give generously to help us reach our goal of $75,000 by December 31, 2021. Every gift matters! With your contribution, our school will remain a vibrant, welcoming community that can respond to the needs of a changing world. 
 
Go Storm!
Ryan Armstrong
Board of Trustees, President

​SUPPORTING EVERY STUDENT, EVERY DAY

Friendsgiving, formerly known as the Annual Fund, is the cornerstone of St. Peter’s fundraising efforts. Gifts to this fund provide critical revenue that the school needs to balance its annual operating budget. Specifically, Friendsgiving is a resource that is vital to maintaining the quality and richness of the school’s unparalleled educational program. 

Every contribution to the Friendsgiving campaign benefits every student, every teacher, every family, every day. Monies raised directly support faculty salaries, professional development, program enhancements, technology, and the arts. Furthermore, donations to the campaign are an endorsement of the high academic standards, which impact every student, every teacher, every family, every day.

​WHY SHOULD FAMILIES SUPPORT FRIENDSGIVING?

Every student benefits from every gift received. The fund allows St. Peter’s to * introduce an exciting new reading program; * implement an innovative approach to math instruction that ensures all students achieve;* keep abreast of trends in educational technology; and * attract and retain excellent educators.

​WHY IS FAMILY PARTICIPATION IMPORTANT?

Because Friendsgiving is an annual fundraising campaign and because the money raised benefits every student, every day, St. Peter’s asks every family to consider making Friendsgiving a priority when considering philanthropic giving. Every gift, regardless of size, is important because every gift represents an expression of loyalty. Family participation demonstrates commitment to every student, every day.

​ARE GIFTS TAX-DEDUCTIBLE?

Every gift is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. St. Peter’s is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt, nonprofit organization.

​WHAT IS THE GOAL FOR FAMILY PARTICIPATION?

St. Peter’s strives for 100% participation from current families.
