Fall Technology Harvest – A Fund Drive Benefitting St. Patrick’s Students

The unusual and very challenging circumstances associated with the pandemic identified the need in our school for additional tablet computing devices. But whether we’re ‘attending’ class from home, or working together in school, our technology-integrated educational environment would be enhanced every day with additional devices.

Now through Thanksgiving, we are reaching out to the St. Patrick community to ask for help in the form of donations so we can procure additional iPads. Be assured that 100% of the donations raised during this promotion will be used to add computers to the student inventory, to enable teachers with updated laptops and to keep our in-class devices on the cutting edge of educational technology.

As we kick-off our Fall Technology Harvest fund drive we gratefully acknowledge the Catholic Faith Network recent donation of 18 new iPads through a generous grant. With the jumpstart of CFN’s 18 iPads, we ask the St. Patrick community to consider a modest donation to help us reach our goal of adding 100 devices.

Your donation of any amount will help us reach our goal. You may send in a check (made payable to St. Patrick School) or donate online below. 

We will keep you all updated on our progress towards that goal and provide an acknowledgment of our kind supporters between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Thanking you in advance for your consideration,

Mrs. Barbara Pellerito, Principal
Mrs. Rebecca Darmanin, Assistant Principal
