What are STMA's Greatest Needs in 2023?
- 83.5% of STMA’s 138 students students receive some form of financial aid.
- STMA awarded over $155,000 in financial aid for the 2022-23 school year, above and beyond the school choice vouchers provided to 58% of our students by the state of Indiana.
- Our goal is to exceed this amount of financial aid for students in 2023-24, but we can only do so through your generosity.
STMA has brought new life to an old school building that had not been used as a school for over 30 years. The property is in continual need of improvement.
With your support, we hope to undertake the following improvements in the coming year:
- Restore the bathroom adjacent to the cafeteria
- Replace broken classroom blinds
- Install outdoor benches and playground equipment, which are currently lacking
- Build a new fence around the recess yard (the existing fence is temporary and in poor condition)
- Purchase humidifiers for the classrooms, to alleviate the effects of dry winter air
- Carry out additional repairs as needs arise
Our school building is at capacity with STMA’s current enrollment of 138 students spanning Grades K-11. STMA is committed to educating our students as they age, which entails adding a 12th grade next year in addition to welcoming new Kindergarteners.
To achieve the moderate school growth we envision, STMA needs financial assistance with the following:
- Rent 3 additional classrooms (either on-site modular units or a separate building in the vicinity of the school)
- Furnish the classrooms with desks, whiteboards, and other items
- Purchase curricular materials for the new classrooms
- Hire at least 3 new teachers
