Dear Friends,
It is with great pleasure that I present to you the 2017-2018 Annual Donor
Report from St. Joseph Catholic School. On behalf of our community, I
would like to say thank you for your generous support of our school. We
are able to accomplish many wonderful things for the students due to your
continued generosity.
Our success as a school is responsible to those who so generously give
of themselves and their financial resources. We have countless volunteers
who give their time to help out in classrooms and throughout the school.
Their smiling faces and joyful laughter add to our wonderful school culture.
Our sensational faculty and staff go above and beyond in support of the
students, they work hard to ensure that our students succeed. We are so
fortunate to have generous donations to funds such as the Annual Fund,
GRACE Scholars, our Home and School fundraiser, the Annual Gala, iGive
Catholic and many more. Thank you for helping us to fund much needed
services for our students through your generosity. All this adds up to help
make us one dynamic Catholic school!
My sincere thanks to all of you who made the 2017-2018 school year such
a successful one for us. Your generosity to us through your time, talent and
treasure continues to allow us to provide a top-notch spiritual and academic
education to our students. We are blessed here at St. Joseph Catholic
School.
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He
is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and
does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not
anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
Jeremiah 17:7-8
Sincerely,
Patricia Allen, Ph.D.

Giving Opportunities
I
SJCS
ANNUAL FUND The Annual Fund
bridges the gap between tuition and
the cost to educate. It includes proceeds
from the Grandparent Lend-A-
Hand and Cougar Pride Campaigns.
This important fund helps SJCS grow.
GRANDPARENT LEND-A-HAND
As part of the Annual Fund, the Grandparent Lend-A-Hand
Campaign has become an essential part of our fundraising
efforts. Established in 2010, this important fund has raised
money to improve the school Media Center and add technology
upgrades to our school. Thank you, Grandparents, for your
unending support of our school.
GRACE SCHOLARS
GRACE is a student
scholarship organization
(SSO) established by the
Archdiocese providing
tuition assistance to families with financial need. Donors can
designate specific schools – like St. Joseph Catholic School – to
receive their donation. A taxpayer in Georgia can “use” part of his
Georgia income tax to provide scholarships for students entering
Catholic Schools in Georgia. This occurs because the taxpayer
receives a 100% tax credit against his GA tax liability for the
amount donated to GRACE Scholars. Therefore, money that was
going to pay taxes is being “used” to support Catholic education
for those in need.
SILENT AUCTION & GALA
Each winter, SJCS hosts an Annual
Silent Auction & Gala. Fun and creative
themes have included Speakeasy Soiree,
Blue Ribbon Award and in 2018, we
celebrated our Back to the 80’s. Attendees
bid on thousands of dollars in donated
products, vacations, and services, in
addition to the popular SJCS exclusives
like Carpool Queen and the beloved classroom creations! Attendees
take part in the lively Paddle Call, where donations are directed
toward a specific need for the school, whereas auction proceeds are
directed toward our school mortgage debt reduction. Thank you to
the committee volunteers, sponsors, and attendees for your continued
support of this fun-filled fundraising event.
