Annual Giving

“From its nurturing Lower School to its academically challenging Upper School, STM has been there to support the academic, physical and spiritual development of our children for the past seventeen years. Although our sons, Andrew ‘05, a senior at Emory University, and James ‘08, a freshman at Stanford University, are now alumni, our daughter Chrissy ’11 is still a student at STM. We are confident that as STM continues its mission into the next decade of the 21^st century, she will have the same college opportunities as her brothers.”

Diane and Charles Matthews, parents and parents of alumni

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. Pledges are payable through the end of the Annual Giving Campaign, which is June 30, 2009. You can also easily donate online by clicking below.
