Adopt-A-Student Program 2001

Have you ever thought of how YOU could express your gratitude for the educational foundation that Transfiguration Parish School gave you?  You can make an important impact on the education of current students through a sponsorship!

Currently, the educational cost of EACH student is more than to $4,000.  Discounted Parish-Rate Tuition for the 2001-2002 school year is  $ 2670.  That difference is over  $1400 a year  ($140 a month) per student.   The balance of these costs is made up by local Scholarships and Grants, money raised by the school parents at The Festival, Walk-a-Thon & Devil Rays Concessions, along with contributions from Transfiguration Parish. That is why we are constantly striving to find additional means of support.

This is the inaugural year for the Adopt-a-Student 2001 Sponsorship Program at Transfiguration Parish School.  A student in grades K-8 is paired with you, their sponsor!  You can correspond, send each other photos, and share stories.  Sponsors will be invited to our Annual Sponsorship Celebration, where you can interact with your student along with the other sponsors. Our students will be thrilled to have a sponsor!  They are all waiting for someone to step up to support them!   It is an affordable gift of only $25.00 per month from August –May.  Classroom Sponsorships are available for a $250.00 a month donation and the entire class will correspond with you !

 All contributions are tax-deductible - - - we can even set up an easy electronic fund transfer, so you don’t have to remember to send a check.  Please return the information & registration sheet on page 8 if you would like to be part of the Adopt-A-Student  Program  or call the school, 727-527-2880 if you would like more information.

Share your love,  Share your gratitude,

Share the rewards !
