History
Over a decade ago, after facing major budgetary constraints, The St. Dorothy Development Committee was formed and the first St. Dorothy Oktoberfest Fair was proposed. The fair and Annual Fund saved a number of faculty positions and eliminated the need to combine multiple classrooms.
The fair not only continues to help our school thrive financially by limiting tuition increases and covers the cost of many infrastructure improvements, but it has become a neighborhood tradition here and in the surrounding communities.
We would like to thank the numerous sponsors of this event for their generous donations through the years. Also, without the St. Dorothy families donating the hugely successful grade level raffle baskets, as well as, filling over 200 volunteer positions, this fair could not continue.
As we have said in the past, this event is a huge undertaking, but every year it continues to be a memorable and successful event thanks to all of you!
Our sincerest thanks,
The Oktoberfest Fair Committee -
