THANK YOU Trivia donors, volunteers, and supporters!
A heartfelt thank you to our entire community for the incredible support during our recent Auctionand Trivia Night! Whether you donated items, sponsored the event, volunteered your time to help set up or joined us for the festivities, your generosity makes a direct and meaningful impact on our students’ learning environment.
Through our collective efforts, we are thrilled to share that we raised over $125,000, an amazing accomplishment that reflects the strength and commitment of our school community.
We would like to extend a special thank you to our dedicated committee members, led by Mindy Saxbury, along with Angie Bauman and Andria Bryant. We truly could not have done this without their hard work, leadership, and countless hours of dedication.
Your support not only strengthens our school, but also reaffirms our shared commitment to the mission of Catholic education, forming our students in faith, knowledge and service. Because of you, we are able to continue nurturing hearts and minds in a Christ-centered environment. It was wonderful to see everyone come together for such a successful and fun-filled event. We are so blessed to have such a dedicated "village" supporting our students.
