Description

Greetings from Saint Monica Preparatory,


That’s why this year’s annual SMASH gala, on Saturday, May 20, is more important than ever. Our two-schools have merged into a single, TK-12 entity - Saint Monica Preparatory. We have always been one Saint Monica community. Both the elementary and high school have always been ministries of St. Monica Catholic Church. As one united TK-12 school, we will be stronger and more capable of delivering an even more excellent and more caring experience for your children. Also, adding, “preparatory” will signify that we are preparing all of our students, from TK to grade 12, for a life of faithful citizenship and for their admission into and success in college.

For the past 30 years, Saint Monica’s S.M.A.S.H. Gala has helped raise finnancial aid funds for our TK to 12th grade students, ensuring all families have the opportunity to receive a faith-based education that fosters academic achievement, intellectual curiosity, individual talents, and Christian service.

We are counting on many of our local businesses to support our students—and in turn we hope to help support your business through the following:

●  SMASH has a hybrid attendance of 500 people annually
●  The catalog will reach 600 school families and 6,000 households
●  Your name/logo will appear on event signage, our schools’ websites, in the SMASH program, social media postings and in our online auction catalog with a direct link to your business.
●  Your donation of goods or services have the potential to change the lives of our students who in turn strive to transform the world as responsible citizens and stewards.

Msgr. Torgerson and everyone at Saint Monica is dedicated to helping our students continue to be their best. Students perform over 15,000 hours annually of community service, tutoring siblings or neighbors, writing cards to the elderly, checking on and running errands for isolated neighbors, and making donations to food pantries. A gift to Saint Monica schools is a gift to the community, because our students pay it forward.

Please return the donation by Monday, May 2, 2022.

Gratefully,
The Students, Faculty and Staff of Saint Monica Preparatory
