Crusader Fund Silent Auction

 

Why does SOSM host an Annual Crusader Gala?
We host the Annual Crusader Gala to support the Crusader Fund and grow together as a community. The Parents Association’s goal is to raise $380,000 this school year, with 100% parent participation. The funds are used for:

  • Scholarships that allow students to have a School of St. Mary education;
  • Faculty who love and care about our students and who are skilled educators; and
  • An environment & school resources that make successful education possible.

Some specific examples of how the Crusader Fund spent money this past year include:

  • iPads at the PGC (no more sharing!)
  • New flooring and paint in the UGC locker rooms
  • Air Purifiers for each PGC classroom
  • 50+ staff laptops and document cameras

Thank You Gala Sponsors!

 

The annual Gala helps the School of St. Mary thrive by supporting: 

  • Exceptional academics
  • Technology, tools, and resources for every child and in every classroom
  • Opportunities for learning outside the classroom through athletics, the arts, leadership development, and spiritual growth
  • Financial aid to help Crusader families
  • Competitive salaries, benefits, and ongoing professional development for our dedicated and caring faculty and staff
