Playground Update - Joy of Giving

Playground Update - Joy of Giving May 2nd - 17th

We are currently at 93% of our fundraising goal for the school playground! Thankful for ABC and Home & School for providing a $13,500 donation this past month.

Some of you have asked "We are so close to our goal, what else can we do?!" The next chance to donate for the playground is through Joy of Giving Day. This 24-hour day of giving benefits all parishes, schools, ministries, and organizations of the Archdiocese of Omaha.

We have been in contact with our playground company and they said construction could start as early as August if we can get our funding wrapped up this Spring! Help be a part of making this dream come true for our students by donating.
