Fundraising |
At St. Louise School, we work together to provide our students with a well-rounded, dynamic, and fiscally sound school. Families strive to raise the necessary funds for the academic, extracurricular, and special programs that make St. Louise a premier educational facility in the area. The PTG and Advisory Council have collaborated here to clarify the distinct purpose and goals of the PTG and Advisory Council fundraisers and the allocation of those funds. While both groups work to advance STL for the sake of our children, they do so in different ways; and equal participation in their fundraisers is greatly appreciated. PTG Parent Teacher Guild The PTG exists to advance the Catholic education and welfare of our children by enhancing and improving the culture, climate and experience for all involved with STL. PTG fundraisers benefit everyone—children, teachers, staff and parents, too! The PTG sources of income include: - Annual Pledge Donation (details coming soon) What does the PTG do with their fundraising monies? AC Advisory Council The Advisory Council is a consultative body offering input, advice and guidance to the parish and school administration with respect to financial, strategic and other goals of the school. The Advisory Council executes these functions through its various committees: fundraising, strategic planning, public relations/marketing, scholarship and facilities/technology.

If the Advisory Council exceeds the school's Diocesan mandate for fundraising, it may utilize the excess amount for special capital school projects, such as last year’s Technology Drive. The Parish Finance Council must approve these special projects.
