1999—2019 Holy Redeemer Catholic School 2018—2019 Annual Report
2018-2019 Letter From The Prncipal Dear Friends of Holy Redeemer, It is with pride and gratitude that we present to you the 2018-2019 Annual Report. We celebrate our 20th year as we began our first—with a mission to provide a quality academic education within the context of faith and spiritual formation and a culture of Catholic values. We are blessed to be a school where faith, academics, community and excellence are not only part of our mission, but also part of our daily lives. It is your continued support that makes the pursuit and attainment of this mission possible at Holy Redeemer. The 2018-2019 school year brought us many memories and accomplishments, including the awarding of our second National Blue Ribbon award for High Achieving Schools. Holy Redeemer was one of only 49 private schools in the country to receive the 2018 Blue Ribbon award reflecting standardized test scores in the top 10%-15% of the nation, clearly defined strategies for success, a well-rounded program serving the academic, physical and social needs of its population and a positive school environment with an active and engaged community. We are proud of our school and of our students, staff and families for their efforts in creating a community worthy of this prestigious recognition. As we celebrated our accomplishments, we also mourned the loss of two beloved staff members, Mrs. Cheryl Hogan and Ms. Catherine Spencer, as well as one of our fifth grade students, Emerson Podojil. We pray for them and for their families, we are grateful for the imprint they made in our school and on our lives and we trust that we will continue to make them proud. During this season of gratitude, we remain grateful for the grace of God, the gifts He bestows on our community and the support of our parents and benefactors. We remain cognizant of the gift of the students entrusted to our care and we ask that you keep the students, staff and families of Holy Redeemer in your prayers. May God bless you.
With gratitude,
Lauren Schell Principal Graduating Class of 2019

2018-2019 service projects Holy Redeemer Catholic School is a faith-centered community committed to living the principles of the Catholic Tradition rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our school community takes seriously Jesus’ command to live the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy. From our kindergarteners to eighth graders, Holy Redeemer Catholic School’s mission is evident. Kindergarten students begin their journey of service by creating Christmas stockings filled with items for Catholic Charities’ Refugee Resettlement children to use in their new homes.
First Graders multiply their talents and collect funds to purchase items needed by children in the Mustard Seed communities of Nicaragua. Second Graders reach out to their home and school communities by organizing a coat drive to collect coats for children and adults being assisted by the North Georgia area St. Vincent de Paul Society. Third Graders realize the potential within themselves to help others less fortunate by walking in the shoes of children who have been suddenly removed from their families. They use their talents to buy backpacks and items needed by the children assisted by the Foster Care Support Foundation. Fourth Graders heed the call of Pope F rancis by practicing stewardship of God’s creation through a yearlong recycling project on the Holy Redeemer campus. Fifth Graders develop a business plan to reach out to their school and neighborhoods to collect new and gently-used winter blankets for needy families received by North Fulton Community Charities. In Middle School, the students begin a formal program focused on the Corporal Works of Mercy. Sixth Graders work together in small groups in local organizations that assist the homeless. Seventh Graders explore the issue of hunger among low-income Georgians in the context of their faith and raise funds for local food banks by participating in Atlanta’s only Hunger Walk. Eighth Graders combine all their service experience from previous years to collaborate in small groups on various service organizations that focus on the Corporal Works of Mercy. Our mission of service for others reaches a new level every February. In place of Valentine’s Day parties, every Holy Redeemer student participates in a Service from the Heart hour. Students work together in their Saint Families on various service projects to emphasize the love of Christ for everyone, especially those most in need. Holy Redeemer students also conduct three all-school food drives during the year to support the food pantries of neighboring parishes and organizations.
2018-2019 ways to give When considering gifts to Holy Redeemer Catholic School, there are many opportunities that will not only benefit the school’s exceptional programs, but may also provide a tax-deductible contribution that is allowed by law. To learn more about ways to give to the school and its mission, contact: Jennifer Leonard, Director of Advancement at (770)-410-4056 ext. 216, JLeonard@hrcatholicschool.org.
Annual Fund The Annual Fund is the foundation of giving to Holy Redeemer Catholic School. As with most private schools, tuition does not cover the full cost of educating our students. Giving to the Annual Fund each year bridges the gap between tuition income and the full cost to educate our students. Each year, the Annual Fund is an indispensable part of the school’s operating budget, enabling the school to fulfill its commitment to academic programs.
Cheryl Hogan tuition assistance fund In March of 2019, this fund was established for our school by the Hogan family in memory of Cheryl Hogan, our former Business Manager, in recognition of her passion for helping families in need provide a Catholic education for their children at Holy Redeemer. Please contact Jennifer Leonard to contribute to this fund.
Annual Gala, Car Raffle These events held throughout the school year are the only fundraising events for Holy Redeemer.
Cash Contributions Unrestricted gifts of cash are the most popular and convenient way to support Holy Redeemer Catholic School. Gifts can be made in a single contribution or pledged and paid in installments.
Matching Gifts Today many businesses have matching gift programs that will double or even triple an employee contribution. Some companies match the gifts of spouses and retirees as well, greatly increasing the impact of a donation. Matching gift information is available from your Human Resources office or the Advancement Office.
Gifts in Kind These non-cash gifts are items that the school needs and uses including, but not limited to, office supplies, computer equipment or printing services.
Securities Gifts of securities, stock or bonds benefit the donor and the school. This type of gift is tax-deductible and the donor may avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciated stock or security.
Planned Giving The most common planned gift is through a donor bequest, trusts, gift annuities, real estate, memorial gifts, life insurance and other financial instruments. A codicil naming Holy Redeemer Catholic School as a beneficiary can be added to an existing will.
GRACE Scholars, Inc. Any Georgia taxpayer can make a donation to GRACE Scholars and qualify for the Georgia Private School Tax Credit. Donors receive 100% credit against their Georgia State tax liability. Money that would have gone to the State of Georgia is now supporting Catholic schools in Georgia. Please visit the GRACE Scholars website: www.gracescholars.org for more information.
Holy Redeemer Catholic School Endowment w/Catholic Foundation of North GA An endowment fund was established with an initial gift from Joseph Mitchell. This fund is in trust for Holy Redeemer through the Catholic Foundation of North Georgia. Additional donations can be made through the Catholic Foundation.
2018-2019 donor list The Annual Report has been prepared by the Advancement Office. Every effort has been made to accurately list all contributions made through June 30, 2019. Should any inaccuracies or omissions appear, please accept our apologies.

2018-2019 grace scholars In 2008, Georgia lawmakers voted to allow state taxpayers to redirect a portion of their State Income Taxes to support Catholic Education. Each donation provides a dollar-for-dollar tax credit. GRACE Scholars, Inc. provides scholarships to those families in need of assistance for Catholic Education for grades K-12. Thank you to the following taxpayers who re-directed their Georgia tax dollars to GRACE Scholars. Currently, Holy Redeemer Catholic School has 52 GRACE Scholar students. Mr. and Mrs. Flynn Andrew

2018-2019 day of giving
#iGiveCatholic is celebrated annually on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. #iGiveCatholic is an online giving day that kicks off the charitable season and brings the Catholic community together to give thanks and give back to Holy Redeemer. #iGiveCatholic is a day of giving event that reaches beyond our parent community to others who wish to support Catholic Education. As the first-ever online giving day created to celebrate our unique Catholic heritage, #iGiveCatholic inspires faithful stewards to “Give Catholic” on #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving. Many have looked for a way to support the Catholic educational system that helped form their lives and the lives of their families. #iGiveCatholic, Giving Tuesday provides that opportunity. This year, our goal was $7,500. Our hope was to raise enough money to convert our computer lab into a “Learning Center” to better serve our students as they learn to work collaboratively both now and in the future. Thanks to the support of the Catholic community, we surpassed our goal and raised $8,358.00 – we are truly blessed. Many Blessings – Lauren Schell, Principal Jennifer Leonard, Director of Advancement Perrie and Charmaine Bartholomew
