St. Paul Pennies for Patients Program Kickoff!
This past Tuesday, St. Paul kicked off our Pennies for Patients Program! Pennies for Patients is a fundraising program that helps fund The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS).
We are having a penny war! Students are encouraged to bring in their silver and gold to help add to the class totals. Students will be able to put pennies in other class buckets to which will subtract from their total, and add silver to their own class buckets to add to their totals.
All silver, checks, paper money ($1s, $5s, $10s, $20s, $50s and even $100s!!!) and online donations will add to the class totals.
This year we are able to donate online at our LLS school homepage http://events.lls.org/pages/ky/StPaulSchoolLouisville-2017.
There are two ways to donate -
Support a specific student from St. Paul - register on the link above - just click on join your school or join your classroom team to start you own donation page. All online donations will count positively towards your classroom goals.
Make a general donation to St. Paul School
Until February 28, students will be collecting money to help support research and treatments to help save the lives of those affected with blood cancers. Students brought home a small box to help them collect coins and bills from home. Students may also ask for donations from family and friends. Checks can be made out to Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Any amount will help out!
This year our goal is to collect $4000 so that we, St. Paul School, can help to make a difference in the lives of those that are suffering with blood borne cancers. The the class that raises the most money will receive a pasta party sponsored by Olive Garden!
Help support St. Paul Pennies for Patients Program by helping your child raise money and save lives!
Catholic Education Foundation for Tuition Assistance
As we begin a new year, I want to encourage each of you to invite more families to join the Catholic school experience than ever before. Last year with your encouragement and with the help of the CEF we were able to achieve record-breaking enrollment. We have not stopped growing and with your help we expect our enrollment to once again grow in 2017. To any family who yearns for a Catholic education for their children but cannot afford it, The Answer is YES!
The 2017-18 FACTs management application is available online at www.ceflou.org. This is the only way to apply for aid this year. The completed application, along with the $25 fee, should be submitted on or before March 15, 2017.
We are sending an instructional flyer to every St. Paul family. Asking for tuition assistance is a very private family decision. Often families who are experiencing difficulty are reluctant to take the steps needed to request assistance but let me assure you if this is the case the answer will be “Yes” to assistance.
For the past two years, every single family who applied to the Catholic Education Foundation for tuition assistance – and demonstrated a financial need – earned an award, 100%! Last year with the help of the CEF, need-based to tuition discounts, archdiocese voucher fund and school choice St. Paul families were awarded $204,256 in assistance!
Instead of talking yourself out of a Catholic education for your children, shouldn’t you consider reaching out to the Catholic Education Foundation and provide a better path for both your children and your family?
- NOW IS THE TIME for more families to join our storied Catholic school community with 106 years of tradition.
