St. Mary School thrives thanks to the service and support of our parents and guardians in school activities, events, and fundraisers.

Leadership opportunities are available through two groups:

• Parent Club (PC): All parents/guardians of St. Mary students are members.

• Catholic School Advisory Commission (CSAC): Selected members serve as an advisory board to the pastor and principal.

Through fundraising activities, parents join together to help keep tuition affordable and support our school community.

Fundraising Credit: Each family is responsible for raising a minimum of $575 through fundraising and/or personal donations between April 1 and March 31. At least $50 of this amount must come from RaiseRight purchases (credit, not face value). Any remaining balance not met by March 31 will be due at that time. Families can meet this goal by actively participating in the school’s fundraising opportunities.

Parent Hours: Every family benefits from the support of St. Mary School’s fundraising and community efforts, and all are asked to share in this work. Families are required to complete 25 volunteer hours annually—5 hours for St. Mary’s Church and 20 hours for the school. Non-Catholic families may complete all 25 hours at the school. Families are responsible for tracking and recording their hours in FACTS. Hours not completed or recorded by March 31 will result in a $400 supplemental registration fee. Volunteer hours are counted from April 1 to March 31 each year.
