Hello,
First off, thank you for supporting us in the past. We truly appreciate it.

After having had to cancel our school's 75th anniversary celebration, scheduled for Apr. 4, 2020, due to Covid-19, Gethsemane School is excited to announce that we have been given the OK to hold an outdoor gala to celebrate our now 76th year on June 5th, 2021!  Gethsemane is a non-profit school in Maplewood, MN providing a Christian education to more than 160 children from Preschool through 8th grade. The Gala is our school’s largest fundraising event of the year, drawing in more than 200 participants including parents, community supporters and community organizations/companies. Funds raised at the event support various learning opportunities, enrichment programs, technology updates, security and building improvements. People and organizations can show their support for our community and school by donating goods or services for a silent and live auction ~ like you have done for us in the past. Participating businesses will be advertised throughout our church and school community as well as featured in our Gala event program. Please remember: all donations are tax deductible. Tax ID 41-0789389. Donations can be mailed, emailed, or dropped off. Cash/check donations are accepted and appreciated as well. Please see the attached letter and donation letter for tax purposes. Please feel free to contact us with any questions by replying to this email. We look forward to hearing from you and thank you for supporting our school.

Sincerely, Kristin Skrien
Gethsemane PTO Vice President
