ROOT AND REACHING: Giving Day
Mark your calendar for Tuesday, October 28, for our annual Giving Day — 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 Annual Fund help provide the additional resources that enhance every classroom, program, and student experience.
Kick-start our Giving Day by making an early gift via the button below. Help us meet our goal of 175 gifts on October 28. Thank you!
