FAQs for Parents

 I see that each class is responsible for a faculty room snack?  What does that mean?

The PTO wants to show our teachers how much we appreciate them, so we provide a treat each month.

A specific  class is responsible for coordinating snacks for the faculty room each month.  Room parents will send out a volunteer sign up to ask parents to bring in coffees, healthy snacks and treats.

When each class has to make a donation to the annual gala, what kinds of donations are usually given?

St. Ambrose holds an annual gala auction to raise money for the school.  Each class contributes an item for the auction.  Popular items in the past have been gift card baskets, relaxation baskets, and Lego baskets as well as personalized items from the class like a painted wheelbarrow, a bench with the children’s handprints, etc.

What kinds of fundraising does St. Ambrose participate in?  What is expected of the parents?

At St. Ambrose we really value the idea of Time, Talent and Treasure and pride ourselves on valuing all contributions made to our school.  Throughout the year, we plan different events that help to raise money not only from the St. Ambrose school and parish communities but also from the outside community.  We receive many donations of time, talent and treasure from our families and in doing so we are able to keep our tuition low.
