Rolene Gent Memorial Fund

In 1996 a memorial/scholarship fund was established to honor past school director Rolene Gent's 33 years [1963-1996] of devoted service to St Paul's Episcopal Day School. Mrs Gent believed that all preschool aged children deserved a chance to attend St Paul's. Over the years she informally arranged financial aid for many families in need of help with tuition. With the generosity of alumni, and her many friends and loved ones, the Day School Board was able to set up a fund to assist parents with the tuition costs for a limited number of places. We are always thankful for any contribution that is received to help keep this fund alive. Contributions are tax-deductible and greatly appreciated.

Mrs Gent has left a legacy of caring to the many lives that she touched. She radiated boundless love and compassion to all. Her vision for a high quality preschool education built on the teachings of Jesus Christ, lives on in the teachers that work with the children of St Paul's today.
