St. Philip School Gives Back!

Tuesday March 17, 2018

St. Philip School gives back!

Back in October, the CSPA meeting included a very eye opening presentation about fundraising equity across the Ottawa Catholic School Board.  Please check out the link to the presentation below:

This has been a topic that has been brought up at St. Philip School Council meetings in the past and it was voted and decided that this year we would allocate some of our fundraising efforts towards a less fortunate school in our board.  This decision was not taken lightly and we wanted to make sure that our hard earned fundraising dollars were put to the best possible use.  Our principal, Ms. White has helped to match us with two schools that have limited access to fundraising dollars.  These schools are not formally identified as high needs and therefore don’t have access to the additional resources that a high needs school would. As the demographic in communities shift, so to do the needs of the schools.  The schools we have chosen are:

- St. John the Apostle School, 30 Costello Ave, Nepean

- Our Lady of Peace School, 3877 Old Richmond Rd, Nepean

These funds will be allocated towards STEM technology resources similar to those that St. Philip students have access to and have been using to enrich their learning this year.  We will donate $2500 to each school.  We hope to continue this partnership going forward and continue to support the learning opportunities in these schools, if needed, in the future.  This will first be voted and agreed upon by future St. Philip School Councils.

Thank you to the St. Philip community for your amazing support of our fundraising activities without which we would not have been able to make this important donation.

Dana Kean, on behalf of the St. Philip School Council
