ROOTED AND REACHING: Day of Giving
Mark your calendar for Thursday, OCTOBER 15, for our annual Day of Giving - a special day to celebrate all that makes St. Michael’s such a vibrant and connected community!
At St. Michael’s, we are rooted and reaching - rooted in values, traditions, and relationships that give our children the confidence to reach toward a future full of curiosity, joy, and possibility. Your participation, no matter the amount, sends a powerful message: that you believe in our School's mission and our students' success. Gifts to the St. Michael's Fund help provide the additional resources that enhance every classroom, program, and student experience.
Kick-start our Day of Giving by making an EARLY GIFT via the button below. Help us meet our goal of 250 GIFTS on October 15.
Want to help lead the charge and inspire others to give? Contact Anne McCoy to become a Parent Advocate for your class or to make a challenge or matching gift. Thank you!

Celebrate Reading with the St M Birthday Book Club
Welcome to the St M Birthday Book Club! This treasured St. Michael’s tradition celebrates the joy of giving while fostering a lifelong love of books and reading.
On or near their birthday, members will choose a book from an age-appropriate selection curated by Head Librarian Mrs. Bryan-Diehl. A personalized bookplate will recognize your child’s gift, and they’ll be the first to check out their birthday book. Members will also be celebrated during library class, at a Lower or Middle School meeting, and in a special library display.
Click the button below to join this year’s Birthday Book Club. Membership is $15 per child and is paid at sign-up. Thank you for supporting a tradition that celebrates reading, generosity, and community!
