Our team works hard to support the faculty and staff as well as the 350 children from Junior Kindergarten to 8th grade that attend our school to receive a Catholic education. Our school has held the U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon School standing since 2011; an award that honors the country’s most successful schools. Our school is also a part of our parish that has served the community for over 60 years. The mission of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School is to develop the spiritual, academic, and pastoral needs of each child. We are committed to providing a caring and happy environment where they can be stimulated and encouraged to achieve the highest possible standards.

In the last year alone, we have raised over $70K in fundraising events to help support students and families within our school community that need financial assistance to ensure their children get the desired Catholic education. In addition to the assistance provided to families at our school, we also utilize the funds from our largest fundraising events, our school Auction and our Bull Roast Carnival to buy new technology and items needed for the education of our students, such as Smart Boards for classroom instruction. In 2024, we took on a large construction project to create more classrooms and expand our space to allow for more educational opportunities.

Our team is currently beginning the planning of our Annual school Auction that will be held on Saturday February 1st, 2025 from 6:00pm – 10pm in our School Gym. To make this event a true success, we need your help! Donations from businesses like yours ensures the success of our fundraising events. Donations are needed for items such as services, attraction passes or certificates to entertainment facilities, restaurants, salons, or retail outlets. We are especially seeking unique experiences and items.

Would you be willing to donate a specific item, service, or experience to help our cause? To show our appreciation for your support, we’d be happy to provide marketing for your organization in our program. In addition, we will offer two tickets to our event. All donations are tax-deductible, Your generosity will help us continue to improve education opportunities at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School.
