Everyday Impact
The 2020-21 Annual Appeal is focused on four priority areas: Urgent Priorities and Programming, Upgraded Facilities, Everyday Impact and Financial Aid. Many of our needs are urgent and all are aligned with Floreat, our strategic plan, to ensure students today and in the future benefit from your philanthropic investment in education.
Fundraising Priority: Everyday Impact
St. Michaels University School students learn from and alongside an amazing community. From conversations in the classroom to celebrations on the sports field or stage, the Annual Appeal provides opportunities for every student. Through experiences and access to information, our students discover their passions and develop lifelong skills including creativity, collaboration, and communication. Aligned with Floreat, our Everyday Impact fundraising priorities will provide resources to students to prepare them for life while celebrating our community every day.
