St. Mary's School
Parent Partnership Association
We are the St. Mary School Parent Partnership Association (PPA) and all of us as parents are members of this great organization. Our mission will be to promote a strong sense of community, achieve our fund raising goals and strengthen the home-school relationship. We will work together to achieve our goals, provide hospitality, host social events and offer support to our Drama, Music, and Art Programs.
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 PPA 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
2012 FUND RAISING GOAL
This year the PPA has a fund raising goal of $35,000, $25,000 of which is applied toward the annual Parish assessment. The remaining $10,000 is divided between different programs and events.
We realize the economic challenges of today can make fund raising a difficult task, but we are confident if we work together we can reach our goal. 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. By concentrating our efforts, we can reach our goal
quickly even with less events planned.
The PPA also has a direct interest in our students. Last year the PPA made some purchases that improved student life at St. Mary School, such as umbrella stands for the outdoor picnic tables, park benches for the school yard, magazines for the library, a special student assembly will be hosted this year, and a crystal chalice was purchased for the Parish.
