CARONDELET CATHOLIC SCHOOL

CARONDELET CATHOLIC SCHOOL ANNUAL REPORT 2013 Preparing Students for a Life of Learning and Service 2013 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends of Carondelet Catholic School: As we reflect upon this past year’s accomplishments, we have many reasons to be thankful. Students are graduating from Carondelet as confident, prepared students who are going on to great college experiences and giving back to their communities. We continually hear from neighboring public and private high schools regarding the accomplishments of our graduates – including those who are excelling as National Merit scholars and Honor Society members; servant leaders helping others as well as talented musicians, writers and athletes. We are thankful for our teachers, most of who have, or are working towards, advanced degrees. Like most of our families, our teachers report they are attracted to Carondelet for the opportunity to teach in a faith-­‐
based environment; the academic rigor; small class sizes; and a committed community. We are thankful for our parents and donors. Carondelet Catholic School relies on the generosity of our community to help us advance our mission. Your generous gifts of time, talent and treasure directly impact our students by helping us keep tuition affordable; maintain small class sizes; attract and retain the best teachers; and offer the highest level of academic excellence in a faith-­‐based, nurturing environment. We are thankful for the generosity of our two sponsoring parishes of Christ the King and St. Thomas the Apostle. We are blessed to be part of such warm and welcoming faith communities. While we reflect upon our blessings we also look forward to our future. With your ongoing support, we hope to continue making advancements in the areas of technology and teaching methodologies as well as building improvements to both campuses. We invite you to come see for yourself the wonderful things happening at Carondelet Catholic School, thanks to donors like you. Your Giving Matters.

There are several ways to give to Carondelet Catholic School, as outlined below: VOLUNTEERING Carondelet has a dedicated volunteer community that is critical to running many school programs. From reading in the classroom and chaperoning field trips, to helping with key fundraisers and staffing special events, we ask every family to contribute in some way. ANNUAL FUND Carondelet’s Annual Fund is sponsored by our Board of Directors and gives our stakeholders an opportunity to make a tax-­‐deductible, end-­‐of-­‐year gift to Carondelet Catholic School. 100% of the proceeds support Carondelet’s operating budget. MARATHON Carondelet’s Marathon is the school’s largest fundraiser. During the month of September, students gather pledges for various service projects organized during our “Day of Service”. This student-­‐centered fundraiser teaches our children the importance of volunteerism and service to others. PARENTS A-­‐GO-­‐GO Parents, faculty and friends of Carondelet are invited to join us for Carondelet’s annual Go-­‐Go, an evening of fun that includes a live auction and event sign-­‐ups. This social event is typically held in February or March and raises funds for a special need as well as for the operating budget. HELP-­‐A-­‐STUDENT Carondelet’s Help-­‐A-­‐Student fund provides tuition assistance for parishioners of Christ the King or St. Thomas the Apostle who demonstrate financial need. Each August members of both parishes receive letters from their pastor soliciting contributions to this scholarship fund.

Gifts can be made in the school office or online at Carondelet’s school website. 2013 ANNUAL REPORT GIVING MATTERS CORPORATE MATCHING GIFTS Many corporations will match their employees’ financial gifts to non-­‐profit organizations.
