The
PTC is the fund raising organization at St. Mary's
School. Our fund raising helps to offset the cost
of the many extra programs and supplemental supplies
for our teachers. The PTC meets five times during
the school year to plan fund raising and vote
on how funds will be spent. Highlighted below
are the fundraisers that occur.
