How does the Annual Fund fit into the development program that we have heard about over the past few years?
The Annual Fund is a part of our overall strategic plan. In 2003, a new strategic plan was developed after analyzing all aspects of the school. In 2004, the planning committee developed comprehensive communications to reach out to school constituencies. In 2005, the Annual Fund was introduced to finance strategic projects. Since the inauguration of the Annual Fund, over $700,000 has been raised to benefit all of the children of St. John Vianney Catholic School.
