As educator and a parent I value a good education. When looking for the best place to send my daughter I came across Saint Marguerite. The curriculum is AMAZING, the teachers are caring and attentive. The principal, Mrs. Kirkbride has made the school a safe learning environment in every way. The small class sizes ensure every student can get the one on one they deserve to succeed. I couldn’t speak more highly of this school. They are welcoming to everyone from any background. We are not religious and have never been treated with anything but the upmost of respect. If you are looking for a school that is safe, attentive, and can provide the best education for your child you need to look at Saint Marguerites school!

Our child has been at Saint Marguerite's since Pre-K. The teachers are caring, kind, and genuinely invested in the kids' futures. There is an atmosphere of "family" amongst the children, they ALL know each other and would do anything for one another. Our child has excelled academically but more importantly has been taught how important God, family, education and others are in her life.

This school is wonderful. I would not trust my son at any other school. The teachers and Ms K are amazing. My son has been here since preschool and has loved every minute of being there. My son has a severe allergy and they are very accommodating and gone above and beyond of making sure my son is safe. Your student is not just a number they are loved by everyone and they all know your child's name and what special things your child needs. I cannot say enough about this amazing school.

I love teaching at Saint Marguerite Catholic School because I'm able to help form our students into the person God wants them to become. Through my interaction and with the assistance of our school community, I'm able to help our student tap into their unique gifts and abilities and use them to make our world a better place.

Our daughter has attended Saint Marguerite Catholic School since she was in kindergarten. We absolutely love the kind-spirited, friendly, gifted staff and teaches who take care of our children everyday! They welcome all with open arms and hearts. We could not think of a better place for our children to attend!

Bequests, Wills & Endowments

Perhaps the most simple and common way of making a planned gift is through a will. A bequest in a will can take the form of a fixed amount of money, a percentage of an estate, a specific asset, a trust, or the naming of an organization such as Saint Marguerite Catholic School as a contingent beneficiary

A financial endowment is a transfer of money or property donated to an institution. The total value of an institution's investments is often referred to as the institution's endowment and is typically organized as a public charity, private foundation, or trust. Among the institutions that commonly manage an endowment are: academic institutions (e.g., colleges, universities, private schools), cultural institutions (e.g., museums, libraries, theaters, hospitals) and religious establishments.

An endowment may come with stipulations regarding its usage. In some circumstances an endowment may be required to be spent in a certain way or alternatively invested, with the principal to remain intact in perpetuity or for a defined time period. This allows for the donation to have an impact over a longer period of time than if it were spent all at once.
