Development Committee
The Development Committee's purpose is threefold: to build awareness and
acceptance for St. Stephen School, to seek and retain students for the school,
and to obtain financial support in order to provide the additional resources
necessary to remain on the cutting edge of quality Catholic Education.
We need volunteers! The four fundamental areas you can volunteer for are:
- Public Relations: Market St. Stephen School and promote
Catholic Education. Publish quarterly newsletters and distribute
press releases through local media resources.
- Annual Fund: Inform parents, parishioners, alumni, friends,
and businesses about the school and appeal for broad based financial
support. Volunteers assist in a direct mail campaign, phonathon, and
major donor solicitation.
- Alumni Relations: Communicate with alumni to renew interest and
generate support. Volunteers can assist as class agents, update the alumni
address database, and plan alumni special events.
- Student Recruitment and Retention: Recruit and retain students
served by the school. Produce and distribute school brochures, send
letters/greeting cards to prospective new students, host parent information
nights, call new students and families to welcome them to the school, sponser
a school "open house".
