Help Us Meet Our Fundraising Goal

**We know how busy you are so we've made it easier for you! You may submit the form to the school office OR EMAIL the signed copy to Debbie Millon ( [email protected] ).** 


Thank you to all the families that have sent in their forms!
There is still time! Please download the
Family Donation Plan form and submit to the school office. Our goal is 100% participation by all SJS families! Help make that happen! We appreciate your continued support!

As presented at Back to School Night by our PTO Board, we have taken a streamlined approach with fundraising. We have simplified fundraising to alleviate the amount of time and demand put on the busy schedules of our SJS families. In lieu of numerous fundraisers throughout the year, we ask each family to make a donation of $65.00. We have received a very positive response thus far, and we are grateful for the giving spirit of our families. Please download the Family Donation Plan form and submit to the school office.  
Chick-fil-A Night!
