Remove the Sunset

Dear Church and School Family,

As you are aware, the Invest in Kids State Tax Scholarship Program has been a huge benefit to our school family. The State of Illinois is currently debating the budget. It is important that Invest in Kids be encouraged to remain a scholarship option for our families. Please follow this link to encourage our State lawmakers to remove the sunset of Invest in Kids which will end in December 2023 without extension.

The link allows you to easily send a stock letter to your legislator or to draft your own message. Since the inception of Invest in Kids, St. Philomena students have received $1,071,119 through 343 individual scholarships over the six years. Please take a moment to fill out the form by clicking here.

If you would like further information to make a donation, please go to the Invest in Kids page on our St. Philomena website.
