Calling all superheroes for REACH 2021!
We are pleased to announce that the St. Patrick Catholic School REACH Auction will be Saturday, March 13, 2021. We are excited to chair this event! This year’s theme invites you to celebrate and honor the Everyday Heroes of our community. As we celebrate 127 years of Catholic education, please join our force of superheroes for an evening of catered meals, mobile bidding, and live broadcast!
We have loved being part of the St. Patrick Catholic School community for ten years. As our children have grown up together, we have been blessed with an extended family. From choir to scouts to robotics and more, they have been nurtured by the spiritual life at the school. We are so grateful for their experience and want to acknowledge all the heroic opportunities St. Patrick School has provided for our kids over the years.
We are so grateful for the Everyday Heroes in our school, in our community, and our families. We honor the teachers, administrators, and staff for their extraordinary efforts in providing exceptional care for our students. We honor the frontline workers in our St. Patrick School community who have worked tirelessly to provide care, supplies, and protection during this pandemic. When asked to chair the auction this year, we knew it was the right time to step up in thanksgiving for these Everyday Heroes.
REACH 2021 will be unique. The extraordinary challenges COVID-19 presents have not dampened our spirits, but rather emboldened our commitment. St. Patrick Catholic School has made heroic efforts to respond to this crisis and meet the academic and spiritual needs of our students. We have modified our facility to support physically-distanced but socially connected classrooms, enhanced our sanitation measures, and provided protective equipment for all faculty, staff, and students. We have made significant investments in our software and hardware technologies to support distance learning models. We have brought on additional faculty and staff for in-person and enhanced remote instruction, and so much more!
We know we are not alone and many organizations are facing similar challenges. Your support allows us to offer affordable Catholic-based education for all who seek one. It allows us to make critical improvements to students’ experiences while at St. Patrick Catholic School. Our fundraising goal for the 2021 REACH Auction is $350,000. This is a tall order; we are asking you to consider investing in St. Pat’s.
St. Patrick Catholic School has a tradition of shaping Everyday Heroes. Today’s students are tomorrow's nurses, scientists, educators, business owners, politicians, pastors, and more! Join us in this valiant effort to shape the future of our community-- one student, one hero at a time!
