PALS PROGRAM
As partners in the education of our children, we all work together to fulfill the mission statement. Through the PALS organization, we all have an opportunity to provide enrichment to the school and its curriculum. In doing so, we contribute to the strong sense of community that makes St. Cyril of Alexandria School the special place that it is.
In addition to strengthening our school community, the fulfillment of PALS commitments benefits the school financially. PALS provide direct support to educational programs by assisting faculty and staff. PALS volunteers also play an important role in all of our school’s fundraising efforts.
Not all PALS commitments are equal in time, but they are equal in importance to the school. We encourage each family to find the position that best aligns with what is most important to you and your family . When we can share the gifts we have – our time, our talents, our resources, and our prayers – we are following our Lord and being good stewards of our gifts.
​
Thank you for every hour and every act of kindness.
