[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems they would have to tell families very soon if the school is closing next year. They'll already have to scramble if they want to get their children in other private schools. [/quote]

The entire school and parents just showed up for mass this morning to pray for the school to stay open.  Parents have raised over $800k.  If the ADW shuts the school down now, it will be because they just wanted to and were being dishonest about the reasons and intentions.[/quote]

I agree 100%. If the ADW shuts us down now it will be a huge disappointment. We did what we were told needed to be done. We exceeded the goal that seemed almost impossible. They asked and we delivered. It will reveal that they knew all along what their plans were and didn’t ever think we had a chance of meeting the very ambitious goal that was set. This waiting game is hard for the parents but also not fair to do to the students. The older kids are all aware of the situation. Also not fair to the staff who have been doing their job seamlessly under uncertain times.  Pretty certain most of the staff members aren’t eligible for retirement and still need to work. Unfair all around.

That's truly impressive that the parents and community raised $800,000 in three months to keep St. Bart's going. I was inspired to build a career in Catholic school fundraising nearly 20 years ago after learning about a similar school in Atlanta that had done the same thing. Good work, St. Bart's![/quote]
