SCC Parents' Annual Giving Drive

TOGETHER, WE MAKE AN IMPACT
As you now know, the sole objective of SOAR is to make improvements at SCC for the benefit of our sons and daughters. The funds collected from parents last year were combined with a $75,000.00 donation from the Metcalf family and the anonymous donation of $23,000.00 in library computers, resulting in over $170,000.00 of improvements to the library.

2007-2008 GOAL: We will be transforming the cafeteria into a multipurpose room representing the character and tradition you should expect from a Catholic school environment.
Realistically, however, none of these improvements would be possible without your much appreciated donation. The anticipated cost of this project is between $125,000.00 and $150,000.00. At Back School Night, you and other parents willing to make a difference in the lives of our children turned in pledge cards totaling $40,000.00. We are on our way again towards proving that ordinary people can make an extraordinary difference at SCC.
Additionally, 160 parents completed a SOAR survey designed to measure the level of parent understanding and support for this year’s project. An overwhelming 90% of the parents surveyed vowed to contribute funds for the renovation of the cafeteria. This marks a dramatic improvement over last year’s level of parent participation, which was a disappointing 43%. Because SOAR was designed to be organized, managed and funded by parents, our goal each year will be 100% participation from all parents. While this may sound overly ambitious, the results of the survey prove it is certainly within our reach.
In addition to parent donations, we are actively making individualized efforts to obtain donations from alumni and area businesses that have benefited from the presence of SCC. As we said, our long term goal is to completely change the outside appearance of the school from a faded thirty-year-old metal building to a campus that reflects the heart and sole of the people that define SCC. Research is underway to find every avenue of funding available to make this long term goal a reality.

WE NEED YOUR HELP, PLEASE GET INVOLVED!!
On Sunday, September 23, 2007, at 7:00 pm in the cafeteria, we will conduct a phone bank, where volunteers will call parents who have not turned in their pledge cards. We need as many volunteers as we can get, because only 25% of our parents have participated so far. That leaves roughly 300 parents to contact. Sounds like an awful lot of calls, but if we get at least 30 volunteers, that’s only 10 calls per person, and you’ll be done in less than one hour. We will have a pre-printed script you can read from to convey the right message, so you won’t have to think of what to say. If you can help out Sunday, September 23 at 7:00 pm, please sign up here….
