Parents,

Over the past couple of days, students were given letters to bring home to you regarding Raising Saints Open Arms. This is our important effort to expand our reach in asking for support of our Catholic Schools.

You will see a QR code on this letter. Please use that code to enter the names of 10 family or friends that might have interest in supporting your child's school.

Thank you for your support of this effort. It is a critical strategy to ensure Raising Saints meets its goals for all three schools!

Here's the link to that letter - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M0jo0EUX3pHufFprLbhU_spvfNpTfNLbc9QtTAO_OD4/edit?usp=sharing

Blessings to you and your family!
