FUND RAISING EVENTS

SPRING FUNDRAISER -(March)
Imagine a fun-filled March evening of dinner and dancing with a live band in a party-themed atmosphere. Held either on campus or at a local venue, the Spring Fundraiser is our most successful fundraiser with live and silent auction items. Whether dressed casually or in cocktail party attire, it's a wonderful evening of socializing with other parents, faculty, and administrators. All proceeds from this event are granted back to the school.

LIBRARY LUNCHEON -(May)
The Library Luncheon, our longest standing PTF event, is held in the month of May in the backyard garden of a family from St. Margaret's. Host a creatively-decorated table with girlfriends as husbands serve lunch! The luncheon celebrates the love of good books and good friendships by supporting our school library.
