Parents’ Club Finance Update

We are incredibly thankful for the St. Alphonsus community who helped raise a total of $165K on behalf of Parent’s Club fundraising events in the last 2023-24 fiscal school year. Because of your generous giving, the Parent’s Club was able to meet a 100K commitment to the school that was set out at the beginning of the school year. We would not have been able to meet this goal had it not been for our 2 biggest fundraisers, the Auction and Jogathon, where both brought in 61K and 33K, respectively. But we also cannot forget the significance of the smaller fundraisers, such as Bingo, Trunk-or-Treat, MOD Pizza nights, and Brown Bear car wash tickets, to name a few. These important fundraisers helped us cross the 100K finish line all while keeping with the St. Al spirit of community. In addition, 56.8K was also raised for the Fund-a-Dream project for new security doors and medical AED devices, vital for the safety and well-being of our St. Al staff and children. Lastly, the community showed how much they cared about our teachers by raising 2.3K during teacher appreciation week, where every penny went back to them in the form of catered meals and gift cards through our Scrip program. In sum, $161.5K out of the $165K raised went back to the school, with 3.5K remaining for Parent’s Club startup costs for FY 2024-25.
We are confident that we can aim higher in this new school year with a 5% increase in our school commitment from 100K to 105K, as we continue to seek the kind and generous monetary and volunteer support of our amazing community. We cannot thank the community enough for helping to benefit our students and the school, both in the past year and in the days to come!

Garden Patch Update

Well, the garden is nearly totally tamed, the Shed has the last coats of paint on it, and the Patch is full of glorious blooms! Sunflowers with their faces soaking in the sun, coneflowers (Echinacea) in array of stunning gem tones, and happy geraniums are just some of the beauties blooming in now! Even the lavenders are blooming for their 2nd & 3rd times this season!  The bees are happy, Hummingbirds are zipping through and stopping for a nectar snack, and even a cat or two has been spotted lounging!  Our pumpkins are flowering as well, which, if the warm days continue a little longer, we may have a mini pumpkin patch this year! Thank you to my two Angels who helped plant 16 pumpkin starts!  You know who you are, young ladies!
Last weekend during the School Clean-up (which was amazing) we had a few diehard gardeners help in the rain including a “Little Angel” in her happy raincoat! Weeding was done in our Patch and the Residents Patch was tackled – weeded, a few weed barrier runners went down and even two arbors built and put up!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!  The lavenders (12) sitting in the School Patch for the Resident Patch, will go in in the coming weeks to get their roots happy and established over the winter months as the “bones” in that garden.  There is LOTS of room in both Patches for more plants!  If you find you have too many Winter veggie starts, you’re dividing clumps of your daylilies and need to “relocate them” or anything else you have growing that needs a new home, let us know!  They will find new happy homes in the Patches!
We do have a wish list – good compost, topsoil and cedar playground chips if you so choose!  We could use it!
Happy Gardening!!!!
