The Establishment of the SPS FUND
As the Administration looks to the future of SPS and the school’s place in an ever-changing world, adaptability will continue to be critical. The Administration has chosen the Auction to initiate a new path of fundraising at St. Peter’s School, with the introduction and establishment of the SPS Fund. This fund will provide crucial support for teaching and learning at St. Peter’s.
The SPS Fund will centralize all fundraising efforts at the School, creating one sustainable and adaptable funding source for the needs of our school, students, staff and community. It will continue to prioritize and provide the means for innovation to our space and classrooms, as well as support professional development and tuition assistance, while allowing SPS the versatility to meet what the future may bring. By establishing the SPS Fund, we will create a solid foundation which we can continue to build upon. This investment in the future will help ensure the longevity of St. Peter’s School for many years to come.
As we look ahead, we encourage our community to give to the SPS Fund in the ways that are most comfortable to them — whether through auction participation, annual giving, planned gifts, tax credits, or another path. High levels of participation in giving programs is an important indicator of a strong school, and that is our hope for SPS.

A Message from the Auction Chairs
“The past year has affected and changed each of our lives in many ways, both big and small. With all the unfamiliar, we are looking forward to continuing an annual St. Peter’s School tradition by hosting the Auction virtually later this spring. In addition to supporting the needs of our school, the Auction has always been a time to gather and celebrate the vibrant community here at SPS. We are working diligently to plan an event that evokes the spirit of our community and creates an opportunity for us to come together even though we may be physically apart.
In taking on the role of Auction Chairs and as parents of current students, we understand the Auction’s success has been instrumental in contributing the necessary financial means to undertake and complete many projects and improvements throughout our school, providing much benefit to the students, staff and community. Now, with the goal to generate proceeds in excess of $60,000, we need your support to make the Auction a success. We understand in the current climate contributions may look different, but there are still many ways you can help.”
