Parent Ambassador Program

RESCHEDULED---DATE HAS BEEN CHANGED

Introducing the Saint Agatha School

Parent Ambassador Program

Greetings Saint Agatha School Parents:

Marketing professionals tell us that the best marketing tool in any business – including Catholic education – is a satisfied customer. As a parent, I hope that you are pleased with the spiritual and academic formation that your child(ren) are receiving at Saint Agatha School. I also hope that you will be willing to partner with me to share your positive experiences with other families in your neighborhoods, sports teams, parishes (if you are not a member of Saint Agatha Parish), and in any venue where you would have a chance to promote our wonderful school to prospective parents and students. To that end, I am pleased to announce the launch of our new “Parent Ambassador Program.” Please take a look at the attached list of opportunities that will allow you to be part of our expanding marketing efforts that are aimed at promoting our school and growing our enrollment. In return for your gifts of time and talent as Parish Ambassador, we are offering a $100 Family Referral Tuition Bonus for each new family that you refer to Saint Agatha School that enrolls. Please see the attached form for more information. I hope that each of you will answer the call and become an Ambassador for Saint Agatha School. Together we can accomplish the goal of our marketing program: to increase enrollment and share the gift of Catholic education with our children for years to come.

Thank you for your continued support,
Ms. Alice Rios
