Eagle Extra for Alumni and Friends

Annual Fund Mailing On Its Way To Mailboxes

Dear Fellow Alumni,

As an alumnus, past parent, teacher, administrator and now principal here at Bishop Watterson High School, I have been humbled to witness the commitment that members of our community have shown to Bishop Watterson throughout the years.

Bishop Watterson's mission asks each of us to "Restore all things in Christ," and as a part of a community centered in Jesus Christ, I am asking each of you to help us provide every student with the best spiritual, educational, service and extracurricular opportunities possible.

Most Catholic high schools have a funding gap which is the difference between the actual cost of educating one student and the tuition charged. This is due to the desire to keep tuition affordable for the majority of families. Currently, Bishop Watterson's funding gap is $1,325 per student. The average funding gap across the United States is $1,700.

When you

receive our Annual Eagle Fund mailing this week, I ask you to pr ayerfully consider a gift. The Annual Eagle Fund provides funding for tuition assistance, technology enhancements and improved student life.
There is no gift too great or too small.

I will keep you in my prayers; please keep Bishop Watterson High School
in yours.

Respectfully,

Deacon Chris Campbell, Principal
