Saint John Paul II Catholic Academy

🕊️ #iGiveCatholic Campaign – Keeping Our Kids Safe & Strong

This year, Saint John Paul II Catholic Academy is seeking your support in addressing two essential needs that weigh heavily on our hearts.

We wish we lived in a world where our focus could remain solely on joyful learning, field trips, and play. But the reality of today reminds us that preparation is an act of love and responsibility. That is why our first priority for this year’s #iGiveCatholic is to equip our school with updated go-bags and trauma kits in every classroom and office, as well as field trip first-aid kits that travel with our students when they leave the building.

👉 These kits are not just supplies. They represent peace of mind — for teachers, staff, parents, and most importantly, for our children. They are a way to ensure that if the unthinkable happens, we are prepared to respond quickly and protect the children entrusted to our care.

Once this critical need is met, any additional funds raised will help us complete the gym equipment updates that were begun through our Fall Color Run fundraiser. Thanks to that event and the generosity of our families and friends, we were able to cover a portion of the needed upgrades. However, we did not fully meet the goal, and with your support, we can finish this important project — giving our students safe, modern equipment for physical education, recess, and after-school activities.

This campaign speaks to both the head and the heart. Safety and strength. Protection and play. Preparedness and peace.

✨ We invite you to prayerfully consider making a gift this #iGiveCatholic. Your generosity will allow us to say to every parent, “Your child is safe here, and we are prepared.” It will also give our students the tools they need to grow not just in knowledge, but in health and spirit.

Thank you for standing with us — in faith, in hope, and in love for our children.

And beyond…
If we are blessed to exceed our safety and gym equipment goals, any additional funds will be directed toward the initiatives of our Marketing & Development Committee. These efforts strengthen our school’s future by supporting projects such as updated signage, community outreach, student and volunteer appreciation, and other tools that help our Academy continue to grow and thrive.

Please encourage your family and friends to donate to this year's fundraiser. Thank you for giving back in gratitude for all you’ve received, and thank you for "Giving Catholic" on #GivingTuesday.

May God bless you!
