What is Autumnfest?
Autumnfest is St. Monica's annual carnival and PTO's only fundraiser. The operating budget for the PTO vastly depends on Autumnfest. Programs such as Catholic Schools Week, Teacher Appreciation, Field Day, Scholarships and Awards, Playground Equipment, School Library, Science Labs, and so much more are made possible because of our success. However, without generous donations and sponsorships from our families and the local community, we lose the ability to offer these programs.
Stay tuned for more information.
