The Bishop Watterson Family Scholarship |
|
Bishop Watterson is happy to announce the Bishop Watterson Family Scholarship. This scholarship replaces the 2021 Eagle Gala, until we can safely gather again. We are asking families to join together to help other BWHS families who need tuition assistance, a greater need during the pandemic.
Donations start with a minimum donation of $500. For your donation, your family name will be displayed on a scholarship wall. If your family would like to participate, click on the button below or mail a check written to Bishop Watterson Family Scholarship, 99 East Cooke Road, Columbus, OH 43214.
We will be recognizing donor families during a social media campaign later this month. If you donate to the scholarship and would like to be a part of the social media campaign, email a family photo to Rebecca Price, rprice@cdeducation.org.
Donations can also be made in memory of a loved one or in honor of a graduate.

Mothers' Club Silent Auction Live Now |
|
Due to the pandemic, our Mothers' Club was unable to hold their annual Spring Luncheon and Style Show. In lieu of this annual event, the Mothers' Club has planned a virtual Style Show and online auction.
You are cordially invited to register, view, and start bidding on items!
Mothers' Club has been a strong resource for Bishop Watterson High School and funds raised from this event will support their many initiatives and projects. These include tuition assistance, quarterly staff luncheons, beautification of school grounds, refurbishing of the grotto, treats for staff and students, monthly staff appreciation raffles, the electronic entrance sign, television monitors throughout the school, clever touch boards, the beautiful stained glass windows in Dominican Hall and the north addition, and a senior food truck lunch.
Your support is very much appreciated!
Bidding will close at midnight on 5/15/2021.

Legends 2021 Sponsorship Opportunities |
|
Prior to the pandemic, our Alumni Department provided service at St. Lawrence Haven, the sack lunch program run by St. Vincent DePaul, once a month. In lieu of our volunteers going to St. Lawrence Haven during the pandemic, they have been providing sandwiches, fruit, drinks, chips, and treats for the patrons of St. Lawrence Haven twice per month over the past year.
Our bi-monthly delivery to St. Lawrence Haven during the pandemic has been overwhelming, thanks to the amazing support and generosity of our group.
The need continues to be great and we would love your help.
If you would like to participate in this service endeavor, please email Terri Kernan at tkernan@cdeducation.org.
