FLUSH FUND FUND-A-PROJECT
|
We are excited to announce this year's Fund-a-Project for the Red Tie Ball, the Flush Fund!
In 2017, St. Philip the Apostle School celebrates 90 years of excellence in Catholic education; however, half of our student population are using bathrooms from the original 1927 school (minor updates done over 25 years ago).
Our first through fourth grade students have been using smelly, outdated bathrooms and we need your help to provide all of our students with modern and clean bathroom facilities. Just ask a lower grade student about their bathroom experiences. Their tales are long and animated!
Our goal is to raise $45,000 - $55,000 for this project (the school will match this amount to cover the estimated project cost of $90,000 - $110,000), which includes new sustainably minded drinking fountains for all grades in addition to the lower grade bathroom remodel. The new eco-friendly drinking fountains will reduce water waste and reduce the number of disposable water bottles used.

GRANDPARENT'S & SPECIAL FRIENDS DAY
|
|
Dear Parents:
Grandparents & Special Friends Day is Friday May 12
th
.
It's our tradition to send out invitations to guest(s) you would like to invite to attend. We are implementing a new process to update our database online, so even if you have given us guest names previously, please fill out this form.
Once again we are giving the Grandparents and Special Friends of the students of St. Philip the Apostle School an opportunity to honor their student through a donation to the
Blessed are the Children
Annual Giving Campaign. Grandparents and Special Friends are a very important part of our school, and have always been supportive in giving of their time and their financial assistance.
On May 12th, we will honor them with our Grandparents and Special Friends Day.
Please submit by Friday, April 7
th
so we may send out the invitations before Easter.
* We only send invitations and/or BATC solicitations to those names you submit.
What is Grandparents & Special Friends Day?
One day every school year, St. Philip the Apostle School opens up the campus and celebrates our students' Grandparents and Special Friends. The mission of this event is to honor and thank our SPAS Grandparents and Special Friends for all their love and support. It is also an opportunity to showcase our students' talent.
We encourage our guests to enjoy a reception and art show in Holy Angel Hall followed by May Crowning and a special prayer service (for Kindergarten we have a special program in the Hall exclusively for them), review students' academic and extracurricular accomplishments, join us for a Bake Sale and then join the students in class for a special activity. This is a joyful day for all at St. Philip the Apostle School.
The day begins for our guests at 8:30 and concludes at 11:30 a.m. Due to the big crowds expected, we ask parents reserve this day exclusively for Grandparents & Special Friends. Of course, we invite 8
th
Grade parents to attend May Crowning and 7
th
grade parents who supervise the Bake Sale. We just ask you to reserve campus parking for our guests.
