Family Pledge Program Donors Celebrated at Reception

On Sunday, January 31st, donors to Providence High School’s Family Pledge Program braved the cold, wind, and rain, to attend a reception in their honor. Nearly 90 parents, faculty, and staff members attended the "Winter Wonderland" themed reception in the Providence High School Multi-Purpose Room, which was beautifully adorned in winter white and accented with small white lights and glittering snowflakes hanging overhead. Wine that was generously provided by the Kurkjian family and freshly prepared scrumptious appetizers warmed up the attendees.

Head of School Joe Sciuto provided some statistics on the Family Pledge Program, which again exceeded $100,000, and shared the many programs and school opportunities that were made possible by Family Pledge Program participants. More than 94% of our new families and 60% of all families currently participate in the growing program.

“My family and I chose to support the Family Pledge Program because the quality and quantity of education our child receives from Providence is priceless,” remarked Vivian Santos, mother of Amanda Santos ‘11 and Kayla Santos ‘17. “My family and I are extremely proud to be a part of Providence. We will forever be Pioneers!”

An exclusive Providence High School afghan blanket was awarded to 25 participants for their four year participation in the program. This blanket can only be obtained through participation in the Family Pledge Program.

PHS is grateful to the many families that support and believe in the mission of the Sisters of Providence and trust in the abilities of our faculty and staff to help instill the core values of respect, compassion, stewardship, excellence, and justice in their children.

Thank you to those families who choose to participate in the Family Pledge Program in support of all students at PHS.
