What is the gap?
YES, I want to help Mind the Gap!
Tuition does not cover the full cost of our students’ education and St. Michael’s Catholic Academy depends on donations to this year’s Annual Appeal to cover the difference. The gap is the difference between the cost of tuition compared to the actual cost of education.
Gifts can be made to the Mind the Gap campaign by returning this card or by visiting our website at www.smca.com/development. Please mail your completed form to the Development Office by December 31, 2010.

Tuition + Annual Appeal
Cost of Education at SMCA
Minding the Gap at St. Michael’s means taking care of the difference between what it costs to educate a student at St. Michael’s and the actual tuition paid per student. The additional funds are needed for the school’s operational costs, for educational programs and for financial assistance to families in need.
