St. Clement's School has numerous service and fundraising activities each year. These activities give families the opportunity to participate in their children's education and to contribute to the well being of the school. They also have an even greater importance as they provide the chance to meet other families and have fun while setting a living example for our children of the value of community and contribution.

Fundraising activities are used to help defray the cost of running the school, and to provide extras, such as the playground, which are above and beyond the normal budget. Without these activities, tuition would be considerably higher. In an average year fundraising activities contribute well over $1200,000.00 to the school budget. Some of the fundraisers are coordinated by the School Board and Administration; the rest are organized by us, the PTO.

In addition to fundraising activities, there are also a number of services that are provided and staffed by volunteers. These are intangibles for which no dollar value can be assessed but which greatly add to the experience of attending this school, and to the sense of community for which St. Clement's is known. The PTO is responsible for coordinating and documenting a number of fundraising and service activities, and is responsible for raising and contributing $30,000.00 of operating capital each year.

Each family has a responsibility to plan, work and support both. If you are interested in serving as an officer or as an event co-chair, please Contact Us.
