Happy Wednesday!

We have exciting news to report. Drum roll, please! We have made this year's Annual Fund Appeal goal of $100,000! Thank you to all of the families, donors, and friends of Holy Rosary School who contributed to this very important fund. Also, thank you to Sarah McKinney for her work coordinating this major fundraising endeavor. We were very blessed to secure a matching grant from the Guardians of Catholic Education in the amount of $25,000. The funds raised provide a quality educational program for your students, new curriculum and materials, and help fund teachers' salaries. We realize that providing a private, Catholic school education is a major financial commitment for your family, so we appreciate your additional support. Have a wonderful week!

Blessings,

Katie Dempsey

Principal
