Back in early December, St. Roch Catholic School applied for a grant, through the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, known as the Growth and Expansion Grant. I was notified this week, that we received the $20,000 grant!
This grant, along with the money that we raised for our Roch-a-Thon in the Fall, is going to allow us to update our Smart Boards. Most of our current Smart Boards are ten years old. We are excited to be able to begin replacing them.
Thank you so much for all the work that you did to make our Roch-a-Thon such a huge success! One of the main reasons we were able to secure the grant was because we had already raised half of the funds that we needed.
We will continue to work hard to use the gifts that we are given to best benefit the students at St. Roch Catholic School. Have a great weekend!
