FUNDRAISING
Sts. Peter and Paul Academy is ran on Faith in God. Sometimes that Faith materializes itself in donations to help pay for the operational costs of running a school. Just as any private school, the funding to keep the doors open must come from somewhere. Since Sts. Peter and Paul Academy is a non-parochial school, not associated with any particular parish, the funds come from Tuition, Fundraising and Donations. Listed below are some of the Fundraisers going on at the Academy this year. If you can help by participating in these fundraisers, we would appreciate your support. The parents and children attending SPPA, along with other volunteers, are chairing, organizing and running these events or activities. We need your support as well. If you see something you would like to attend, purchase or participate in, please feel welcome to do so. For example, the Scrips Gift Card program is not limited to just the school children's families. Anyone may purchase a gift card for any amount simply by downloading the order form ( you will find the order form by clicking onto the words Scrips Gift Card below ) and sending it into the school at 231 Clark Road, Reading, Ohio 45215 with a check made out to St. Pete's Endowment Fund Inc. If you would like to purchase any item the students are selling, please contact the Academy at 513-761-7772 or the webmaster at webmaster@sppacademy.org . As this page is being set up, each link to chair people will be established or a phone number will be added to this page. Each event or activity will also be explained more as the time draws near to start it. If there is a flyer advertising the event, there will be a link set up to go to it. If you want information immediately on an event that does not have a link established yet or a phone number, you can always call the school at 513-761-7772 or contact the fundraising chair at tsweeney34@hotmail.com . Information will be relayed to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your interest in helping Sts. Peter and Paul Academy to continue it's mission.
The following letter is to let you know of the various fundraising opportunities that are planned for SPPA this school year. This is also to thank you for your support of the Academy and to ask for your patience, as it seems like there are several fundraisers. These ideas were formed from the wonderful Spirit and passion of people wanting to help with the financial needs of the school. These fundraisers/events are to assist in offsetting the operating expenses of the Academy, which will benefit all the children. Your support is important! While we especially do not want to exhaust our parents and families, we want you to know that none of these fundraisers are mandatory. You are free to choose what you would or would not like to support. However, please feel free to ask friends, family and others in the community to join in the fun and meet the people of SPPA, all while supporting the children through the funds raised at these events and activities.Also, other forms of fundraising, grants and large donations are actively being pursued to aid in the fundraising needs of SPPA. Yet, the events and activities planned truly do bring a sense of community, unity and fun that no grant can ever account for. Thank you again for your dedication to the SPPA Family. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact: Terri Sweeney (Fundraising Chair), tsweeney34@hotmail.com or Missie Conner (Parent Liaison), mconner1@fuse.net .
