Give back to St. Malachy with Casey's Rewards
The best part? Donations don't come out of your own pocket. When you buy from Casey's and use their rewards program you can simply turn your points into a donation to our school.
Help St. Malachy make the most of this program and learn more at Caseys.com/schools.
Seeking Donations for Newspaper Insert and Radio Commercials:
Our 8th grade class is writing articles for a large insert in the Creston News Advertiser and our 6th grade class is preparing 15 second commercials to be broadcast 5 times each on KSIB radio. The insert will be distributed and the ads broadcast during Catholic Schools Week. The cost for the insert and ads will be approximately $1700. We need your help to fund these great pieces about our school. If you are interested in helping, please send donations to Mrs. Lane at St. Malachy School. If you plan to help please let Mrs. Lane know by January 22nd so we can place your name on our donor list. Thank you! slane@crestonstmalachy.org
