Giving to St. Patrick's
Throughout the school's history,
St. Patrick's has relied on tuition income to cover operating expenses. Like many other independent schools, we are finding that tuition income alone will no longer cover the full cost of educating our students.
St. Patrick's relies on the generosity and support of our families and friends to help us sustain our excellent academic program. There are many ways that
St. Patrick's families can participate and support the school. We ask that every member of our community participate to the best of their ability. |

Annual Giving
Every Family Counts.
Every Gift Helps.
Annual Giving supplements the school's operating budget and makes it possible for students to enjoy a challenging academic program as well as enhanced programs in music, art, computers, PE and Spanish.
Every gift benefits all of St. Patrick's programs and students in every grade level.
The goal of Annual Giving is 100% participation from every family at
St. Patrick's.
We ask every family to make a gift to Annual Giving each year. |

Special Events
Each year St. Patrick's hosts a Gala auction dinner and other special events. These gatherings help provide funding for school programs, capital building projects, and other special needs identified by the Board of Trustees.
This fall St. Patrick's Parents Association hosted the first annual Golf Tournament at Lost Canyons Golf Course in Simi Valley. Many parents and friends of the school participated and played at this new event.
Every spring, St. Patrick's hosts its annual Gala. Parents chair the Gala with the cooperation and support of the Board of Trustees. The Gala includes silent and live auctions, dinner, and entertainment. It has been held in a variety of venues. The funds raised through the Gala currently support the New Canterbury Hall building project.
Additional Voluntary Giving Opportunities
During the year, the Parents Association sponsors activities that help to promote community spirit including the back to school picnic, Breakfast with Santa, family fun nights and teacher appreciation week.
The Parents Association also raises funds through sales of gift wrap, e-scrip programs, Photos by Eric, and a book fair. Proceeds from the Parents Association support all of
St. Patrick's arts programs, including special cultural arts performances for all students. Last year, surplus Parents Association funds were utilized to purchase additional, new computers for the computer lab.
