Welcome to STJ 2026 Grad!

Visit us to learn all about upcoming events, fundraisers and opportunities related to graduation!

 

Your grad parent committee is hard at work behind the scenes to ensure the class of 2026 have the most memorable and amazing grad experience! Like everything else these days, preparing for graduation can be expensive. Together, we can decrease costs and increase the fun! We invite you to join us in fundraising initiatives throughout the year to help offset some of the costs associated with the grad banquet and after party. Here are just a few ways you can help: 

  • Volunteer your time - grads & parents are always welcome - along with anyone else you may want to bring along for the fun! Learn about the current opportunities available

  • Donate items - we'll be looking for prizes, baking and other various food items to achieve our fundraising goals. Sign up here!

  • Donate cash - we know your time is precious and sometimes it's easier to send $$$ than bake a cake 😉. We'll gladly take cash in lieu and purchase on your behalf. E-transfer stj2026grad@gmail.com anytime! 

  • Sell sell sell! Tickets, baking, gift cards.... The possibilities are endless! Embrace the people in your networks (but not too tightly!) reminding them of that darling 12th grader they're supporting. Check out the upcoming events and fundraisers.  

  • Beg, borrow and ... well, let's just say Seek sponsors! Whether that means hitting up your mother in law for Tupperware, asking your boss for some swag or suggesting the local businesses you frequent give back to the teenager that spends each paycheck at their establishment - it all helps! Prizes can be used at the after grad or for fundraisers along the way! Personalize and bring this sponsorship letter with you to make your request! (Click here to access a PDF version.)
