The Development efforts of St. Thomas More Collegiate are guided by the five Areas of the Knight’s Cross.
Our Principal and staff have developed a thorough list of funding priorities for our school. Donors can contribute to an Unrestricted Fund for the school’s current and emerging needs or direct contributions to a priority guided by the arms of the Knight’s Cross. Your monthly recurring or one-time contribution to one of these important areas will help our young Knights become well-rounded individuals with a balanced-life.
Please consider making a monthly contribution to one of the following areas:
Emerging Needs (Unrestricted)
A contribution to the Emerging Needs fund provides the greatest flexibility for the STMC leadership team to foster an educational environment that is bold, daring, and imaginative. Often this fund will work in conjunction with the Knight’s Cross Areas of Focus. Current priorities include:
- Top Priority: Front Office Refresh, including new teacher workstations
- Floor Scrubber
- MPR – portable bar
