Tuition at St. Anne School, and most parochial schools, does not cover the full cost of educating students. To help keep tuition affordable, we raise additional money to support our programs.
Contributions to the Annual Fund, involvement in the School Auction and other fundraising efforts, represent the various ways families and friends of St. Anne School can give to support our school, our students and our mission.
Unlike tuition, some of these contributions can be tax deductible or serve as a way to purchase something that you need regardless of where your child goes to school.
Each year, there are several core fundraising efforts to support St. Anne School. The following table provides a summary overview of the schedule, purpose, goals and expectations for family participation for each fundraiser.
