Holy Family School Annual Fund Report 2018-2019

Holy Family School Christ Centered...Student Focused...Family Driven

Annual Gift Report 2018—2019

Dear Friend of Holy Family, It is with pleasure that I share with you the 2018-2019 Annual Gift Report containing the Honor Roll listing of all who make a difference at Holy Family School. HFS, as always, benefits from participation in the EITC (Educational Improvement Tax Credit) program. The EITC provides companies with a 75% tax credit for donations to a non-profit scholarship program. We urge you to participate in this program. Please contact us for additional information. The funds received from EITC, individual donors, your contributions, and our partnership with the Foundation for Catholic Education allow HFS to minimize tuition increases, which enables students to enjoy a Catholic Education at Holy Family School. New technology, programs, improvements, and scholarships are made possible, in part, by your gifts. Your generosity helped us to upgrade the lighting in the Kindergarten and First Grade classrooms. Additionally, we were able to upgrade our internet server speed to better support the use of student, teacher, and staff devices throughout the school buildings. As Holy Family School looks to the future, I want you to know how much your continuous support of our mission is appreciated. I am excited for the new opportunities and experiences that we might bring to our students as a result. I thank you for your contribution in support of Holy Family, be it the gift of prayer, time, talent, and/or treasure. I ask that you keep the faculty and students in your prayers as we keep you in ours daily. Sincerely,

Mrs. Jennifer D’Amelio

Holy Family School Parents Say…..

“My husband and I feel that Holy Family School provides a Faith and Family based community that nurtures our children to be their best.” ~Sharon and Sean Peck

“Holy Family continues to be the best decision for both our children and family. We knew we wanted our children to attend a Catholic school and this has far exceeded our expectations. It is a strong curriculum as our children are challenged and driven to their potential each day. They are immersed in a faith-based community seeing and learning examples of how to be Christ-like in their daily lives and lead by example in the community. Our children are happy going to school, looking forward to what the day holds. But it’s hearing the stories they share with us and each other that is truly heart-warming. For this and many more reasons, we are honored to be a part of Holy Family.” ~Jamie and Timothy McNerney “We have been a part of the Holy Family School community for the past 14 years and cannot believe this is our final year at such a wonderful school. We have truly enjoyed our experience at Holy Family School, especially the rich traditions, academic rigor, strong family-focused community, and spirituality. When our youngest daughter graduates, she will be very well prepared for high school, just like her older sisters from HFS Class of 2017. Our family has made life-long friends and looking back, we will always cherish our years at Holy Family School.” ~Helene and Chris Ouimet “We chose Holy Family for our children first and foremost because of its community committed to Catholic education. We had relatives who attended and taught at Holy Family. They always spoke highly of not only the excellent education but the life-enhancing experiences that they were afforded. Holy Family has provided our family with the opportunity to make friends and positively affect the lives of others, within and outside of the Holy Family community. Holy Family prepares our children for their place in society, and their place with God.” ~Maureen and Bill McCarthy
