Spring 2025 Impact Report

Being 94% donor-funded, St. Labre believes valued friends and partners like you deserve to see the impact your donations are making.

How Your Support Makes an Impact

Building strong readers — and confident learners — through daily classroom instruction and individualized support.

Hands-on learning that builds curiosity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills — turning everyday activities into meaningful lessons.

Engaging science education that encourages exploration, critical thinking, and a love of learning inside and beyond the classroom.

"St. Labre is different
from other schools I have attended."

"In other schools, the teachers were, well, teachers.
Here, they are my friends. I feel like I'm part of one big
family at St. Labre." — Chontay

This has been an amazing year at St. Labre and we just wanted to say thank you on behalf of all of our teachers, staff and especially our students.

The Beadwork Institute

This highly popular St. Labre program empowers students to create intricate, culturally significant artwork that honors their heritage. Students build their skills in a range of traditional and contemporary Native American media. Each year, our artists enter items in the Heard Museum Guild’s Youth Art Show & Sale in Phoenix, Arizona. This prestigious event allows them to compete against their peers on a national stage, exhibit in the "world's preeminent museum for Indian art," and gain the entrepreneurial experience of selling their original creations, if they choose (many prefer to keep their item).

Thanks to your generous support last year, the exceptional work of our
school children in The Beadwork Institute won awards at the 2025 Heard
Museum Youth Art Show & Sale, in Phoenix, AZ, on March 2-3, 2025.

2025 was a year of substantial impact,
but we cannot rest on that success in 2026.

St. Labre still has a budget shortfall threatening not merely the programs we offer our students, but the assistance we provide the community. With the stakes so high, your donation would have a greater impact than ever.
