Class Projects
Each year Star of the Sea Students, along with the help of some amazingly gifted parent artists, create Class Art Projects to be auction off at Gala. Every year at this time, we ask for monetary donations from our school families to cover the costs of three Class Projects. A typical donation is $25 but any amount will be gratefully accepted. A Class Project donation form will be sent home with your oldest child today.
