Thanks for making our Book Fair such a success!

Wow! The Family Fun Night and Basket Raffle was quite a success! Thanks to all of you who supported this 1st Annual St. Chris event. The Faculty/Staff Committee headed by Mrs. Callaghan, Ms. McLaughlin, and Mrs. Whalen, was able to put together 76 baskets to raffle off on February 22nd. About 400 people - school families and parishioners - attended and enjoyed some pizza, beverages, games, and good company. There were more than 76 winners on that night, but clearly the biggest winners were our school students. The profits help us to maintain our Fine Arts program as well as the other Special classes. Thanks again to all who supported this event!

St.Christopher School is registered with Amazons fundraising campaign called Amazon Smile. You can designate St.Christopher Parish as your charity, and each time you shop Amazon a portion of the total purchase will be automatically donated to St.Christopher School. You do not need to change anything else on your account. You can still use your Prime Account, and any payment form (INCLUDING SCRIP GIFT CARDS), you will just open AmazonSmile.com in the browser in stead of Amazon.com. It really is a simple way to raise funds for our school! THANK YOU!

Basically, you can buy gift cards from a wide variety of retailers(resturants, food stores, entertainment, gas stations) in the scrip office or by sending your order in with your student. Orders are filled and returned on the same day! St.Christophers benefits and YOU benefit with a percentage of the discounted rate deposited directly into an account for you. You can use you account to pay registration fees, and tuition for grade school, high school and even college (does not have to be a Catholic school) AND COLLEGE LOANS!!!!!!! Ask your family members and neighbors to participate (you do NOT need to be registered in the parish)and you will watch your account grow!

That is correct and means exactly what it says. For the second year, Nutritional Development Service (NDS) is making free breakfasts and lunches available to all of our students. Menus will be provided ahead time so students and parents can plan. The goal of the program is to encourage healthy eating habits with our students.
