St. Francis School opened its doors in 1948 as a non-profit, private school dedicated to teaching students in the Christian faith. Kindness, respect, Christian values, and academic excellence continue to be the cornerstones of a St. Francis School education 72 years later. We are proud of our rich history in Ellsworth and the network of more than 1,500 alumni who have gone on to live vibrant, successful lives.
Proceeds raised at the Gala will be used to fund vital St. Francis School programs. The cost to educate each student is $8,556 and the average family pays $2,100 in tuition per child. The difference is funded through generous donations from the St. Francis parish and supporters like YOU! This year our goal is to raise $75,600 to replace aging technology with 14 new laptops for staff ($11,200), 30 new Chromebooks for students ($8,400), 20 new desktop computers for the media lab ($24,000), and five new projectors for classrooms ($3,000). In addition, STEM activities are needed for all grades ($4,000) and new social studies textbooks will be purchased for all grades ($25,000). We invite you to join us for “Glory Days: St. Francis Through the Decades” here on our website and our Facebook page, May 12-16, 2020. |
