CAMPAIGN FOR STS
On May 19, 2007, St. Thomas School launched the public phase of a capital campaign to construct a new state of the art learning facility and build an endowment for support of our mission. The Campaign will take St. Thomas School, already an outstanding institution, to a significantly higher level, building on the Mission Statement and Strategic Plan adopted by the Board of Trustees in December 2005. The Strategic Plan provides the foundation for the following campaign goals:
- Create a learning environment that enhances and supports the educational program.
- Serve as a model for other public and independent elementary schools through the intentional marriage of great programs, strong faculty, and wonderful spaces.
- Strengthen the educational program by embracing a broader community.
- Continue to develop the educational program around four guiding principles: partnership with parents, curriculum with coherence, commitment to character, and a community of learners.
- Secure the school’s financial future by building its endowment and reserves and planning for appropriate growth in enrollment and resources.
Every member of the STS community will be invited to join in supporting this capital campaign, knowing that our school has been a vital part of the beginning years for them and their families.
A note about the Annual Fund: The Annual Fund will be maintained as a separate effort with a separate goal throughout the capital campaign. The school community will be asked to continue to support the Annual Fund, and to make it their top philanthropic priority, because the school relies on the Annual Fund to provide an important percentage of the annual operating budget.
Please help make St. Thomas School’s vision for the future a reality. Join us!
