Top 100 Club >>

The tradition began by Mother Bernard Gosselin has entered its 95th year.  Today a lay administration and staff continue the works of the sisters.

Each year we are in need of raising between $100,000 and $150,000 to provide families tuition assistance in grades Kindergarten through Twelfth. The cost of educating students has increased dramatically over the past five decades.

With an annual increase in the cost of operations and an entire lay faculty and administration, the annual cost of operating the school has greatly surpassed the rate of tuition. The current tuition stands at $4,000 for the elementary and $6,000 for the high school, much higher today than when we were entirely staffed with religious. Today’s faculty salaries range from $31,200.00 to $49,500.00 taking into account the highest salary is based upon years of services.

We are looking for 100 individuals or families to gift $1000 or more annually for the next three years. Your membership in the “Top 100 Club” club will provide the assurance that local children will have the opportunity to attend St. Bernard’s regardless of income.

A tax-deductible gift in the amount of $1,000 restricted for tuition assistance can be spread over a ten-month pledge, two payments or one payment. You can make your pledge by check, cash or credit card.

Remember the opportunities you or your child had at St. Bernard’s, or your experience at a Catholic school and help make these opportunities available to our students by making a restricted gift. Should you have any questions please contact me at 707-443-2735.
