One Day. One Community. One St. Raymond.
Giving Tuesday is coming up on December 1st!
Every morning, 259 students walk through the gates of St. Raymond School: 24 preschoolers and 235 children in Kindergarten through 8th grade. They come to learn, to grow in faith, and to be known by name. This Giving Tuesday, we’re asking our whole community to help make sure that what happens inside those gates is safe, strong, and open to every family who wants to be part of it.
Where we stand
We’ve built a great deal together. Our athletic field cost $641,000, and this community raised 68% of that cost. That’s proof of what St. Raymond families can do when we commit to something. Our Securing Safety initiative has already raised $53,598.70 toward its $125,000 goal, including $24,365 for fence installation. That’s 43% of the way there.
We also have real needs. About one in ten of our families now relies on tuition assistance, and that number keeps rising by 3–5% each year as families face job losses and a higher cost of living. We have room for 300 students, which means 41 seats are waiting to be filled. Our academic results show what a St. Raymond education delivers, and we want more families to have access to it.
Your gift supports five priorities:
- Enrollment. Help us grow from 259 to 300 students and fill every seat in every classroom.
- Tuition Assistance. Keep a St. Raymond education within reach for families facing hardship, so no child has to leave because of a change in circumstances.
- Building & Grounds. Fund the ongoing care of our campus, from classrooms to the roof over our students’ heads. (Our long-term Endowment goal of $1.5 million will support roof maintenance and classroom renovations.)
- Professional Development. Invest in the teachers and staff who shape our children every day.
- Student Enrichment. Expand the programs that spark curiosity beyond the core curriculum.
Double your impact. Many employers match charitable gifts. St. Raymond is registered on Benevity, so check with your employer to see if your gift can go twice as far.
Whether you give $10 or $10,000, every gift says the same thing: this school matters, and these children matter. Thank you for standing with St. Raymond School.
