Dear Parishioners, Alumni, Families and Friends of St. Bridget School,
We pray this letter finds you well. We are proud to share that we completed a successful year of in-person instruction and learning and are preparing to launch the 2021-2022 academic year with hope to provide more enrichment activities such as clubs and sports that were paused last year due to COVID safety restrictions. We are truly proud of our students, parents, faculty and staff for having met all of the challenges put forward. Our teachers continued to present the necessary curricula and challenged our students while simultaneously supporting their social and emotional growth. We continued our mission in a very real and concrete way where we “attend to the spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional and physical needs of our students within a safe and nurturing environment based upon the Gospel message of Jesus to ‘love one another as I have loved you.’”
Every year, around this time, we write to you seeking your support for our parish school. The support of individuals, families and local businesses in the wider community makes it possible for us to continue our mission of achieving academic excellence while developing disciples for the future. Your support last year assisted us inincreasing the bandwidth in our school, purchasing additional sanitizing and disinfecting chemicals and PPE products, and helping us to offset additional costs associated with constantly changing guidelines and regulations as we weathered the pandemic. You made it possible and so we thank you!
As we look to the opening of the new school year and continue to ensure the observation of the necessary COVID guidelines and mitigating protocols, we recognize we need your help. We ask you to partner with us and to help continue the excellence of a faith-based Catholic education offered here even as we face this unprecedented virus. Your support through our campaign entitled, Rooted in Faith, Growing in Character, will benefit our students by ensuring that we have the necessary funds in order to make the essential changes needed to ensure the safety and well-being of our learning community. Your support will assist us in many ways such as improving our technology, purchasing instructional equipment to expand our STEM and Robotics programs and purchasing additional PPE products to ensure the continued health and safety of our students, faculty and staff.
We invite you to prayerfully consider making a donation. There are many ways you can donate to our mission. You may want to make a personal donation or consider making a donation in memory or honor of a loved one; only you can decide how much to give. Charitable giving is a personal decision. We simply ask you to prayerfully consider partnering with us today.
We are asking all members of the community to help us meet the challenges we face today in order to enable us to fulfill our mission and shape the disciples and leaders of the future. We ask that you look into your hearts and see the value of donating to St. Bridget School’s campaign, Rooted in Faith, Growing in Character. Your donation, no matter its size, makes a difference for our school family and most especially for our students. Won’t you join us in forming the future leaders of our society?
Please be assured of our grateful prayers for you.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
