Questions about ways you can help support our school? Please contact Carlee Colonneso at development@sjsfl.org. 

Annual Fund:
Current tuition only covers 70% of the operational costs for St. Joseph Catholic School. The remaining 30% comes from the generosity of our donors and fundraising. The Annual Fund provides funds needed to close the operational gap and provide for future improvements on our campus.

Guardian Angel Fund Scholarship:
St. Joseph Catholic School makes every effort to keep Catholic education affordable for all families seeking a Catholic education for their child in Manatee County. The Guardian Angel Fund Scholarship provides help to families who qualify for tuition assistance.

North Campus Capital Improvements:

Playground Replacement and Updates- 
SJCS is in need of a complete update of the Early Learning Playground to provide for safe surfaces and updated equipment. The improvements would include clean, cushioned surfacing; interactive equipment that will allow for outdoor play and learning; and play surfaces for tricycles and peddled toys for gross motor development. * Once complete the Early Learning Playground will be dedicated Mrs. Glenda O' Connor a teacher who sadly passed away from Covid-19 in 2021.

Minor Changes and Updates to the Main Playground-
Updates will include resealing of the blacktop area between the school and grassy playground area as well as painting of Four Square and Hopscotch sections. Updates will include an Installation of Sensory and Interactive Pathways for use during recess and academic learning.

Removal and Replacement of the Portable Buildings- 
Both buildings are over 50 years old with one no longer in use due to deterioration. The school has been experiencing growth during recent years, and increased space is needed  to support additional classroom needs. The current portable buildings need to be removed and replaced with a structure with a minimum of 5 classrooms.

Classroom Lighting Replacement-
Lighting throughout the classrooms needs to be updated to provide energy savings for the school. In addition, a balanced lighting system would optimize the impact of lighting on the students & ability to focus and learn.

Locker Replacement-
Many of our classrooms need locker replacements. Most of these are the original lockers to the buildings, and many are in need of repair. Safer quieter lockers would benefit teachers and students throughout the day.
