Make Steps a Priority

Yes, every school has existing fundraising efforts and has multiple asks made each year to their community. When you look at your priorities, be strategic about your funding. What we’ve seen over the last six years is that when a school focuses on Steps as a priority their success grows dramatically.

Get Your Pastor or Priest Involved

Not every school is parish-based, in our network we also have regional and privately run schools…but EVERY school is a Catholic school and there is a huge positive in getting your pastor or a neighboring priest without a school on-board with your Steps team. Not only does it help build team spirit and increase your network of contacts, but it is a visible sign that we all support Catholic education!

Motivation Can Be Priceless!

Have the Road Crew come out to a Pep Rally, HSA, PTO or Board meeting.
