As Christmas approaches and the end of the tax year nears, generosity and year-end giving are often on people’s minds. Many families ask how they can support St. John’s in meaningful ways. This season, we have several giving opportunities that directly bless our teachers, strengthen our facilities, and support the long-term health of our school community.

Here are three ways to be involved this Christmas season:

Christmas Purse – A direct and practical way to say thank you to our teachers. Gifts are given straight to staff as a Christmas blessing and expression of gratitude for the care they pour into our students each day.

Cash and checks can be given at the school office.

You can give online to the ELC Christmas Purse here

You can give online to the K8 Christmas Purse here
Gifts must be in by the end of Monday, December 15th.

Matching Fund – Contributions toward our $125,000 Matching Fund for building upgrades. Thanks to a generous donor, every dollar given is matched. We are currently just $20,000 away from meeting and beating this gift.

Cash and checks are preferable, as they avoid what can be significant fees.
You can also give to the Matching Fund online here (with fees).

St. John’s Sponsorships – An opportunity to promote your business while supporting the school. Sponsorships are especially helpful for companies with charitable or tax-advantaged giving programs, or who want to designate giving to our Athletics, STEAM or Performing Arts programs

Thank you for the many ways you support St. John’s throughout the year—through prayer, volunteering, generosity, and so many other thoughtful acts of care. Whether or not you are in a place to give financially at this time, please know that you are valued and appreciated as part of our school community.

If you would like to contribute this Christmas, St. John’s gratefully accepts donations in the following forms:

Stock gifts

For assistance with any of the above, please contact Dr. Barnard directly.

Thank you to our sponsors for their generous support of St. John’s School. Their partnership strengthens our mission and helps us see our Graduate Promise—Grow in Faith, Excel in Education, Thrive in Community—come to life in the lives of more than 300 children each year.

When it fits your family’s needs, we hope you’ll consider supporting the sponsors who pour into our school community and into your children.
