Our goal each year is 100% participation from all AMS families. As of today,
the participation levels are as follows:
Updates:
Continue to send in those contributions!
Pony - 60%
3rd & 4th - 55%
Kindergarten & 1st - 54%
6th & 8th - 49%
2nd & 7th - 46%
5th - 45%
Our school has reached 51% participation rate as a school! School-wide participation in the Annual Giving Campaign is a testament to the community's strong commitment to the mission of the school and to the goals of a Catholic education. Achieving 100% participation builds community, identifies solidarity, and often inspires significant additional gifts. All Annual Giving Campaign gifts, large or small, make a collective impact, which benefits each and every student.
Make a donation today, as the Annual Giving Campaign wraps up June 30th.
