St. Mary's School
School Service League
We are the St. Mary School Service League (SSL) and all of us as parents are members of this great organization. Our primary focus is fund raising, as well as providing some great social activities for St. Mary’s children and parents throughout the school year.
There are many different ways that you as a parent can get involved in our organization such as financially supporting an event, volunteering to work an event, assist in ticket sales of an event, chairing an event, recycling of SSL event recyclables, publicity, working in our kitchen, aid in our uniform exchange, and by coming to meetings. We all have unique talents and when pooled together our efforts can abound!
Our Mission
2008 FUND RAISING GOAL
The St. Mary School Service League is assessed $25,000 annually. In addition to this, we provide children’s social activities, sustain the art program, host Catholic Schools Week, offset cost of field trips, as well as other events, so the actual amount of money raised exceeds the $25,000 mark. It is more realistic for us to set a goal of $35,000 to cover these additional costs. We realize this is a large sum of money and combined with a strained economy can make fund raising a difficult task. In planning our fund raising calendar this year we searched hard to plan affordable sales and provide more activity related events we thought parents and children would enjoy. We are confident we can raise our assessed goal even though we have cut back on some of our fund raising activity. By concentrating our efforts, we can reach our goal quickly even with less events planned.
MEETINGS
Meetings are monthly, usually on the first Monday of the month, from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm in our school gym. Look for the meeting agenda in your weekly school mail, online and on the school calendar. All are welcome, as well as ideas, comments and suggestions. Your input is vital to the success of our organization, so please join us if you can. Monthly newsletters will be available online, informing you of our events and meeting activities, so everyone will be informed, even if you can’t make a meeting. Feel free to contact any of us by phone, e mail, or a hand written note.
