Shorecrest School

Thank You For Making the Difference

Advancement Lower School News


Shorecrest is a giving community. Nowhere else is that more clearly exemplified than by our community’s participation in the 2023-2024 Shorecrest Fund. Over 600 parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty and friends joined together to support our shared mission—contributing tax-deductible donations from $1 up to $25,000 to benefit Shorecrest’s people and programs. 

Their collective generosity has directed over $850,000 in resources towards student, teacher, and community needs this year, including things like:

  • Security enhancements for our Centegix system across campus and additional carline support from the St. Petersburg Police Department
  • New Rigamajig products to spark curiosity, innovation and collaboration while introducing Experiential School students to STEAM principles
  • A new keyboard, pipe-and-drape system, and video technology for the Janet Root Theatre to benefit the experience of both the performers and the audience alike

Thank you for all this and more that you’ve made possible! We are so grateful to everyone who chose to invest in the Shorecrest experience through the Shorecrest Fund. 

We’d like to especially thank our incredible Shorecrest Fund Council volunteers, without whom we could not have inspired such widespread community participation:
