Advertising!  This helps you and Holy Spirit!    

At Holy Spirit School our goal is always to create the best experience for our students and be up to date on quality education materials and technologies.  We will be starting a program to do just that. Advertising in our programs for our musical performance is one way we can make this possible.

The money we raise through our advertisements in the Annual Fund Dinner program handout will go toward the purchase of new sound equipment or other needs for Holy Spirit School.  Please consider advertising for your business or put in a personal ad to wish a child good luck!  All ads are due to Mrs. Simms by Friday May 3rd**

Middle School students will put on the Annual Fund Dinner On **May 9^th starting at 8:00 P.M.**.  Some middle school students will be performing as an actor/actress or stage crew.  Others will be serving on the dinner side.  The whole school will attend the 10:45 performance on Friday, May 10th- all takes place in the gym

Attached is a sample example for you to see the possibilities for this program- Please make **Checks payable to Holy Spirit School with Advertising  in the memo.  Send your Ads to asimms@holyspirit-indy.org.**  You can either send in a document as the ad or I can design your ad with your words.  Please feel free to send pictures, business cards or any other jpeg files.  As stated, it is a fun way to send love to your kids or advertise for your business or wherever you work.  It is very affordable…$40, for a whole page ad, $20 for a half a page ad and $10 for quarter of the page.  The ads will be viewed by approximately 400 people from the Holy Spirit Community.

Thank You for your support,

Mrs. Simms
