St Mary Star of the Sea School
Donation protected
In today’s economic times, the cost of private schooling has made Catholic Education a difficult challenge for those seeking to afford their children with the same type of education they themselves received. St. Mary Star of the Sea School has provided quality, faith-based education for over 60 years. Located near Midway Airport in Chicago, St. Mary Star of the Sea has produced graduates who have become doctors, lawyers, pharmacists, nurses, politicians, first responders, medical technicians, business and finance professionals, professional athletes, and educators as well as skilled trade workers, paraprofessionals, and many career driven individuals. Currently, 50% of the teachers and staff at St. Mary’s are alumni of the school.
In addition to providing an education aligned with the Common Core State Standards and an Arts Integrated Curriculum, the students of St. Mary Star of the Sea enjoy many extra-curricular activities. These include band, scouting, sports, Student Council, after school tutoring, and clubs, such as the running club and Lego club. The students participate in service projects that benefit the school and community. We also have an extended day program for students to enjoy time after school to complete homework, play games, or socialize at the school playground in a supervised, secure environment.
Over previous decades, the Archdiocese of Chicago and St. Mary’s Parish have significantly supported the cost of educating enrolled students. Just as economic hardships have fallen on many families, they too, have been impacted. St. Mary’s needs your help to continue to provide a strong, Catholic education to children in a neighborhood where public schools are abundant, but not always the first choice for parents. We have acquired a significant amount of debt. By lowering this debt, we will insure our mission of providing a Catholic education into the future.
At St. Mary Star of the Sea, we are a family; past, present, and future. We love our school and our community. Our bonds cross generations and extend across the nation. Your donation supports our drive to remain a viable school in the Archdiocese of Chicago and allows us to keep our family together. A donation to reduce our debt would solidify our future as the Archdiocese looks to close schools that are not self-sustaining.
As we continue into the 2014-2015 school year and look forward to next fall, we ask that you invest in our future and become part of the St. Mary Star of the Sea family. Thank you for reading our story. We hope to gain your support.
