On behalf of the students, staff and entire St. Michael Catholic School Community, we invite you to Dream, Explore and Discover Bids for Kids 2023! For over 140 years, St. Michael Catholic School has been a pillar for teaching and molding the young minds and hearts of our children.
Our program is designed to inspire students to become life-long learners and provide authentic Catholic education for students preschool through eighth grade. Your generous contributions intertwined with your commitment towards enhancing academic excellence, character development, and passing on life-long values through traditions of faith have notably helped our children reach success.
St. Michael Catholic School relies on tuition, parish investment and fundraising efforts to carry out our mission to deliver a quality faith-based education. On Saturday, April 29th, 2023, we are holding our annual Bids for Kids event, our largest fundraiser of the year. We invite you to help us achieve these meaningful goals.
Corporate & Family Sponsorships Own or work for a values-based business that’s looking for tax deductible ways to give back to the community or educational causes? Or, is your family? Bids for Kids advertising opportunities and sponsorship packages range from $50 - $5,000.
Tax-Deductible Basket Donations Classroom basket themes have been selected. Parents of current students, please look for an email from your basket coordinator the week of January 30th. Items can be ordered through Amazon or picked up from your favorite local retailer. Not a shopper? Consider a monetary contribution. If your employer matches charitable donations, this could be a perfect way to double your impact.
