Description

St. Mary School has been educating students in DeKalb County since 1913.  Each year, we educate over 230 students from 3-year-old preschool through 8th grade.  To help us keep our tuition affordable for all families who wish their children to attend our school, we conduct a few school-wide fundraisers during each school year.  

Casino Night is an adult-only event featuring casino games with prizes, raffles, a silent auction, appetizers and desserts, cash bar, music, and dancing. The event is open to the entire community and we are expecting to have 200+ guests in attendance.  In addition, our silent auction is online and attracts bidders from across the United States.  Our goal is to raise $40,000 - $50,000.

The funds we raise annually with the support of businesses like yours are critical to keep tuition affordable and allow us to offer a high-quality academic curriculum and equipment to all students from preschool through eighth grade. Thanks to our past donors, we have been able to offer not only critical subjects like science, social studies, math, reading and writing but also continue to teach Spanish, music, art, physical education and S.T.E.M.
