The Development Program at Assumption School
The Program is designed to promote understanding, acceptance and support of Catholic education among existing school families, parishioners, alumni, businesses, friends and the local community. Our program, instituted at Assumption in 1995 and guided by the Development Office of Catholic Schools, focuses its energy on four main areas:
- Public Relations
- Student Recruitment
- Alumni Relations
- Annual Fund
In the area of Public Relations, our program notifies the parish and local community of school events and the academic accomplishments of our school children. The Stepping Stones newsletter keeps alumni informed of current Assumption happenings.
The Development team works to enhance Student Recruitment by holding an Open House each winter to encourage parents to consider a Catholic school education for their youngster. Also, school brochures are periodically updated and distributed to local businesses such as pediatrician’s offices, daycare centers and real estate offices.
Alumni are a key to the success of Assumption School. They are living testimony to the work that is being accomplished at Assumption. We encourage alumni to continue their ties with the school by visiting the campuses and attending parish and school-sponsored activities.
The Annual Fund drive is a yearly program that deals with the financial aspect of Development. Our fall mail campaign and winter Phone-a-thon remind alumni, school families, friends and business that the programs offered at Assumption continue to grow and expand through the generosity of their financial support.
The relationship among these key areas helps to strengthen Assumption School. The Development program is staffed by volunteers who believe in the importance of a Catholic education at Assumption. They bring enthusiasm, energy and support to existing programs.
