Dear SPC Families,

We have a few things coming up this month! 

Febrary 14 – March 3, 2023 SPC Annual Fund Parent Appeal
Annual Fund 2023 V4

The SPC Annual Fund helps bridge the “gap” between tuition and the actual cost of an SPC education. Our 3-week Parent Appeal kicks off on February 14th, and your oldest/only will bring home your invitation and parent pledge card on Tuesday. So be sure to check those backpacks! Our goal is for every family to participate – 100% participation. Parent gifts add up to a large sum each year, and every gift makes a difference. Thank you, in advance, for your generosity!

If you participate in Amazon Smile, you may have received notification that the program will be discontinued effective February 20, 2023. You may continue to shop with St. Paul of the Cross School as your identified charitable organization until that date. We have connected with Amazon to ensure the remainder of our calendar year 2022 funds are deposited correctly; there is nothing to do on your end.

Beginning February 21, 2023 you may be asked by Amazon to choose from 1 of 4 of their pre-identified organizations as they look to have more focused charitable contributions.

Thank you to those who have supported St. Paul of the Cross School through this program!
