Support

“God loves a cheerful giver. Moreover, God is able to make every grace abundant for you, so that in all things, always having all you need, you may have an abundance for every good work.” – 2 Corinthians 9:7-8

 

Fundraising is a vital part of our school community. We are committed to continuing the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School traditions of faith, family, knowledge, and service. 

While tuition covers roughly 88% of the school’s operating budget, additional financial support is necessary to advance our school’s mission. Our community’s fundraising and philanthropic support provide necessary funding of our outstanding educational programs, facilities improvements, continued maintenance and tuition assistance to 6% of our families, with 70% of our families eligible for the active parishioner rate, which is a discount from the standard rate.

In addition to annual giving, our community flourishes through spectacular events and service projects coordinated in partnership with Parent Club, representing thousands of hours of committee work alongside the new Development office.

Grandparents’ Day, Parent Social Events, and Alumni gatherings, along with many other annual activities, bring our community together in support of our school’s mission.

I welcome the opportunity to speak with you and look forward to seeing you at one of our many upcoming events. Thank you for your many contributions on behalf of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School.

Warm regards,

SEAS Elk Grove - St. Elizabeth Catholic School Funding the gap

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School tuition is less than the cost to educate each child, therefore we count on continued fundraising support to provide the best learning experience for our students. Each year we look forward to our Jog-a-thon and Auction in order to fundraise for our school and celebrate fellowship with parents and friends while supporting St. Elizabeth Ann Seton’s mission to educate minds and inspire hearts.

Each year, our school launches an Annual Fund to help bridge the gap between the actual cost of education and the tuition charged. The campaign kicks off during the week of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton’s birthday and continues throughout the year, ensuring that we have the financial means to provide an exceptional education to all of our students.

We appreciate the sacrifices of all families who believe in the value of Catholic schools and trust us as their partner in education. We honor your support by providing your children with the highest quality educational experience, and striving to create a nurturing environment where children grow in faith, knowledge, and character.

Dear Friends of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School,

Our mission states, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School is an educational ministry which passes on the values, traditions, and teachings of the Catholic Church and builds a community of faith, family, knowledge, and service. As Catholic educators, we are proud to foster a desire for life-long learning and to prepare our students to be Christian witnesses and active in their faith. 

Now in the 25th year of service to the children of Elk Grove and the neighboring communities, we ask for your support. It is our desire to be able to provide this experience to all members of our parish communities, to maintain and improve our facilities for future generations, and to deliver the necessary tools for student success. Our families work hard to ensure that their children are part of a Catholic school education, but situations arise where they may need assistance. In addition to helping with tuition, it is a dream  to add to our facilities and provide for smaller class sizes. Our parent community cannot do this alone, I appreciate your support.

I thank you for your prayerful consideration of a gift that affords a child this educational experience, provides capital improvements for our facilities, or makes possible technological improvements. The future of our Church is held in the hands of these children and your trust in our mission makes our future bright.

 Yours in Christ,

Mrs. Marci Greene

Principal

Dear Donors of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton:

Since 1999, the year St. Elizabeth Ann Seton was opened, donors like you have been supporting our community. The students of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton would like to thank you for your continuous generosity towards our school. We greatly appreciate your commitment to supporting our faith community both financially and spiritually. Your contributions have helped St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in many ways and we can not thank you enough. 

Your funds help us provide more chromebooks for our classrooms, along with new smartboards, and new uniforms for our athletic teams. Using the chromebooks, we are able to complete research for projects and presentations, along with completing our different online tests. Smartboards allow us to engage and have an interactive learning experience in the classroom. Your donations also help contribute towards purchasing new sports uniforms for our teams, enabling us to represent our school pride. 

Your acts of kindness have given our school something that we can never repay. With your donations, we have been able to educate the children that attend our school, teaching them how to live and grow in the virtues. These virtues have helped us to grow closer to God not only through faith but with love. It has influenced us to make good decisions in our daily life. We have also been able to keep the tuition to attend our school as low as possible for the families of Good Shepherd, St. Joseph, St. Maria Goretti, and the neighboring communities. With our lowered tuition, we are able to prepare for what lies ahead. Steve Maraboli once said, “A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.”

From,

The Students of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton

Jog-a-Thon

SEAS Elk Grove - St. Elizabeth Catholic School Ivan Castellanos 

    Memorial Scholarship

WE LOVE YOU, OUR ANGEL, IVAN.

In January of 2021, eight year old Ivan Castellanos, beloved son of Yasmin and Jesus, and little brother to Yvette & Paulina, passed away after a courageous struggle with a cancerous brain tumor. Throughout his illness and even up to those difficult last months, Ivan stayed in school for as long as he could, and enjoyed every minute of his time with the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School Community.

He loved Pokemon, especially Pikachu, and his loyal and furriest friend – Chocolate Cake -who is pictured beside him. Ivan graced our lives with his innocence, creativity, and gentleness. He brought joy to each person he encountered and is our inspiration for leading a life with childlike curiosity, free of judgment, and full of love for others.

In honor of our angel, Ivan, and his family, we have established an ongoing scholarship fund. If you are able to offer your support, all donations to Forever in Our Hearts: Ivan Castellanos Memorial Scholarship are awarded to those St. Elizabeth Ann Seton families who find themselves in difficult situations and in need of support to maintain enrollment at our school.

Please consider celebrating the gift of Catholic education and honoring the legacy of precious Ivan Castellanos.

SEAS Elk Grove - St. Elizabeth Catholic School Planned Giving

One of the most impactful ways to support the students and teachers at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School is by making a planned gift. As a planned gift donor, you not only contribute to the continued growth and success of our school, but you can also enjoy significant tax savings, potential increased income, and the opportunity to provide for your heirs. Your generosity will help secure the future of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School and ensure that we continue to offer exceptional education grounded in faith and community.

Planned giving encompasses a range of philanthropic strategies that allow you to contribute assets to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School while deferring the receipt of these gifts. Often, this approach enables you to make a much more substantial contribution than would be possible through an outright gift. We highly recommend consulting with your attorney or tax advisor to determine the most effective way to include St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School in your will or estate planning. Your planned gift can create a lasting legacy, ensuring the continued excellence of our educational community.
