The mission of the Development Committee is to provide financial and marketing support that will perpetuate the growth of St. Pius X School. They also strive to identify and develop the many financial resources that will serve St. Pius X in the present and into the future. Reaching out to the parish community at large, the Development Committee seeks to accomplish their goals by building mutually beneficial and supportive relationships with parents, alumnae, past parents, grandparents, the business community, faculty and staff, students, and friends.
The Development Committee welcomes all volunteers, but especially those with expertise in the area of fundraising, marketing, communications, and public relations. Volunteers are currently needed for the following sub committees:
Web Development Committee: Participation would include benchmarking against other sites, and providing feedback to maintain a site that will effectively meet the daily needs of our school's parents, in addition to the information-based needs of those outside of our school.
PR Committee: This committee, led by Patty Heimbrock, focuses on finding and maximizing opportunities to promote our school to the community. Members of this committee will write and distribute press releases, publicize (as needed) and photograph events, maintain a strong working relationship with parents and teachers to gather pictures of classroom and afterschool activities, and write articles for the Carillon parish newsletter, Development newsletter and other publications as needed. In addition, this committee works closely with the web team to keep copy and pictures up-to-date on the school website
Fundraising Committee: This committee will look for ways to maximize fundraising for the school by reaching out to the parish-at-large. We are especially interested in those with experience in this area, yet all participation is welcome.
Alumni Committee: This committee will assist in connecting former alumni back with the school. This will assist the school in a number of areas, one being from a fund-raising capacity. It would be great if a former alumni could head this up!
Communications: We are looking for experienced writers that could assist in writing grant applications, blue ribbon applications, and accreditation support.
