We are participating in iGive Catholic again this year. Advanced giving begins is November 18 - December 2. Giving Tuesday is the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Please help with this important fundraiser for our church and school. You support is appreciated!!



We have designated technology upgrades and educational expenses as the iGive Catholic cause for this year.  We are counting on this fundraiser to cover part of the operating expenses – this was decided last spring.  Anything above what we need to go to the current year’s fundraising income will go to the following expenses in this order-

 

1.  Teacher iPads (Teachers are using iPads that are very old and hard to update).

2.  Student iPads (to replace the ones that will not run Lexia and IXL in lower   

     grades)

3.  Promethean boards for the remaining classrooms who do not have new ones. 

 

PLEASE help promote iGive Catholic and consider a gift yourself.  Any amount will be matched dollar for dollar towards this cause, up to $50,000, thanks to a very generous gift from an anonymous donor.  We will be starting a Facebook campaign next week that you can share.  THANK YOU for any way you can help!
