News from the Admissions Office:
We continue to receive many inquiries about Saint Bridget School for the 2015-2016 school year. Catholic School week resulted in just one Open House so we have decided to add a couple of additional opportunities to show off our school. Please spread the word:
Wednesday March 4, 2015 - Pre-K and Kindergarten Open House - 6:30-7:30pm
6:30-7:30pm
Middle School Open House - We are hosting this event during the CCD time for any CCD parents who may be interested in coming in and seeing the Middle School while their children are in class. All are welcome.
If you know anyone that may be interested in attending one of these Open Houses, please encourage them to come - or better yet, invite them and come with them.
"Saint Bridget School Tidbits" - remember to spread the Good News about Saint Bridget School:
1. Did you know that we have 18 staff members that have been here more than 10 years?
2. Our 8th grade class has 31 students this year, and 20 of the 8th graders have been at Saint Bridget School since Pre-K or Kindergarten.
Stability in both the staff and student populations facilitates academic excellence in a constantly changing and challenging world. The rapport between our staff and school families builds a strong partnership where student success is paramount.
The St. Vincent de Paul applications are available in Mrs. Sebastian's office at the rectory. This is a need-base scholarship for grades 1-8 only in 2015-16 for those families who live in Ashland and Framingham. Please call Mrs. Sebastian at 508-875-5959 or email [email protected] for an application which is due back in her office on Friday, March 6, 2015. All information is kept strictly confidential.
Development Office
Congratulations to KM & 5W for winning the Annual Fund % Participation Contest! Thank you to all parents who have supported the Annual Fund Participation drive! We are currently at 27% of all parents supporting our school. Although, the Catholic Schools Class competition is over the Parent participation push continues through the end of the school year.
What we have discovered is that organizations that offer grants and gifts to schools like Saint Bridget, look to our participation levels in order to judge if we are a worthwhile investment. Help Saint Bridget School stand out!! We need everyone's help to reach our goal of 100% participation.
The funds raised last year purchased the new reading materials for grades K-5, covered a teacher's salary and much more. These are 100% tax deductible donations hard at work! We are asking for any financial contribution you feel comfortable making, keeping in mind that the bottom line is not as important as the percentage of people that participate. We want to show the community, alumni and supporting foundations that we are a strong and viable community and that their investment is us will pay dividends for life.
