Dear Friends and Supporters of NativityMiguel Middle School,

As we begin another promising academic year at NativityMiguel, I write to you with sincere gratitude for your steadfast partnership and a deep sense of momentum across our community. 

Guided by our theme for this school year, “Reflect, Refine, and Renew,” we are taking time to honor how far we have come while sharpening our commitment to academic excellence, character formation and spiritual growth. As we enter the third year of our 2024–2028 Strategic Plan, this year our focus remains on deliberate progress, institutional vitality, and expanding opportunities for every student. 

Key Milestones & Growth:

• Enrollment: Grown from 51 students in Spring 2022 to 93 scholars this fall, an 82% increase.

• Advancement: Raised over $1.5 million last year, marking the highest total in school history.

• Accreditation: Entered the Middle States Accreditation process. (Visitation Spring 2027)

• Faith & Service: Expanded student-led outreach across Buffalo, anchored by our annual “Day of Service” for Earth Day. 

• Summer Enrichment: Partnered with OLV Charities to send 50 students to Camp Turner.

• Graduation: Celebrated 20 eighth-grade graduates transitioning into top college-preparatory high schools throughout Western New York. 

Because philanthropic giving funds more than 90% of our annual operating budget, your investment directly powers this mission. Last year, our generous community contributed $628,000 toward our $650,000 Annual Fund goal. As our enrollment expands, our operational needs grow alongside it. Including our commitment to providing high school tuition assistance for our alumni scholars. 

For the 2026–2027 school year, our overall advancement goal is $1.668 million, which includes our critical $650,000 Annual Fund target. Reaching this goal ensures day-to-day stability, funds essential classroom resources, and sustains the promise of a NativityMiguel education for every family we serve.

As we launch this year’s Annual Fund Campaign, I invite you to partner with us once again. Together, we are shaping bright futures, strengthening families, and forming Buffalo’s next generation of leaders.
