Support STM

On Saturday October 4th, St. Martin’s parents Beth and Keith DePass hosted a beautiful evening in their home, honoring those donors who made leadership gifts at the Founders’ Circle level or above during the 2007-08 fiscal year. Over 100 generous donors attended the event.

The Founders Dinner is held each year to thank those who make gifts of $1,200 and above to the Annual Giving Campaign. Last year's Annual Giving chairs, Barbara and Steven Bossier, worked tirelessly to raise $412,000, exceeding our $400,000 goal.

If you are interested in joining the Founders’ Circle and making a tremendous impact on the life of St. Martin’s students and programs, please contact the Advancement Office at (504) 736-9910. This year’s Annual Giving Campaign goal is $425,000, and our Chairs are Rhonda and John Barrett.

The best thing about St. Martin's is its talented and dedicated faculty. The teachers truly care about their students. All three of my children, Mark ‘05, Stephanie '08, and Elizabeth '10, have developed close relationships with their teachers. In addition, where else can you find such strong academics? And with small classes and such a host of extracurricular activities, St. Martin's provides an environment where every kid can shine. My family was truly blessed the day we found St. Martin's!

Since 1947, St. Martin's Episcopal School has graduated over 3,500 students who have made their community a better place. Support from our alumni, parents, grandparents, faculty and friends allows St. Martin's to continue educating leaders for our world. We thank you for your support and invite you to explore the ways you can help sustain our traditions while making St. Martin's the best independent school in New Orleans.

Annual Giving funds critical parts of our operating budget and ensures that St. Martin’s continues to excel at educating leaders for our community. We must continue to raise the bar on our expectations of the school and on ourselves, so that our students will continue to receive the finest educational experience possible. Thus, the school leadership has set the 2008-09 Annual Giving goal at $425,000.

St. Martin’s is in a most exciting and optimistic place in its history, and we thank you in advance for your support. Donations at or above the Founders’ Level may be paid monthly ($100) or quarterly ($300) on your Visa or MasterCard.

From Quarterback to Teacher

"I have great memories of my two years as the quarterback for the St. Martin's Saints. The sense of leadership I learned as a St. Martin's student-athlete has served me well in life, especially as a teacher and in my work with Project Adventure."

Guy Farber, Class of 1982 - Project Adventure, 5th grade teacher, parent
