Development @ SJA... St. John the Apostle Catholic School strives to provide all students with a quality Catholic based education regardless of their financial ability with the opportunity to excell in our community. To provide for students in financial need and to bridge the gap between tuition charged and the actual cost of education, SJA relies on the generosity of Foundations, Trusts, Corporations, Parishioners, families and the community. What other areas is the Development Department involved in? Grant writing @ St. John the Apostle Catholic School, we write grants annually to several foundations and trusts. Grant needs change yearly, given the needs of SJA. In the past we have received grants for our Language Arts Program, Science Lab, The Global Classroom, Art, Research and Resource Library, Drama, CEEF and Tuition Assistance. Our most recent grant from the B.P., Lester and Regina John Foundation funded a large part of our Tuition need for SJA families. Marketing SJA, the Development Department creates new family information packets to assist families in making the right choice in education when visiting SJA. We advertise in the local newspapers such as The Oregon City News, Canby Herald, The West Linn Tidings, The Clackamas Review and the Catholic Sentinel. We are members of the Oregon City Chamber of Commerce and are seen in the Metro Parent along with being rated as a top school in the Portland Monthly magazine. The Development Department creates school brochures, SJA's Annual report and press releases for school events. We also host several community building events such as our Annual Open House, Grandparents day and Pizza Bingo. Fundraising @ SJA, the Development Department coordinates the school fundraising events with our wonderful parent volunteers. To raise awareness and funds, the Development Department organizes and holds several events each year. Development planned giving program, SJA has a CEEF Endowment Fund and encourages supporters to remember the Parish and School in their estate plans.
