Boosterthon Fun Run 2010-11

Elizabeth Belew — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 02:00:33 +0000

Thank you for your participation in the 2010-11 Boosterthon Fun Run! We are incredibly blessed to have such a supportive community to help raise money for our school and classrooms. The kids did an awesome job running all those laps at the run, and they had a fantastic time, too! Be sure to check out our little Boosterthon video on www.saintspride.com !

We are so excited that we are incredibly close to our goal of 100% collection of all Boosterthon pledges —just $1,582.00 more to go!!!

Since we received only $17,416.00 in pledges, which is more than $25,000.00 less than the 2009-10 run, our goal of 100% collection is so vitally important!! If we collect every pledge, we will keep a profit of $9,056.00 and each teacher will receive 10% to put in their teacher wish list fund for classroom resources.

If you have not already done so, please call or email everyone on your pledge list and let them know how many laps your student ran, and then have them send their checks or cash to you as soon as possible. We have not scheduled our next collection day as of yet, but you may turn in any money to me as it is collected. Just a reminder – checks should be made payable to St. Elizabeth School.

The money raised from the Fun Run will go toward continued upgrades and maintenance of our technology and classroom resources.

Thank you for your continued support, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you should have any questions – ebelew@saintspride.com.

Box Tops for Education

Monica Connelly — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 04:00:04 +0000

St. E can turn Box Tops for Education into cash to upgrade the Reading Counts program and other services offered through the school library. Just clip Box Tops coupons from hundreds of your favorite products and send them to your child’s homeroom. A new campaign for Box Tops for Education is coming to St. Elizabeth. New incentives and monthly goodies will be offered. Look for information in Thursday folders regarding the onset of the Box Tops for Education campaign.

Mrs. Isabel Elias has graciously accepted the responsibility of collecting and counting Box Tops each month. She will be looking for parents wanting a great cup of coffee and needing volunteer hours for “Clip & Coffee Mornings” to help clip, count and package Box Tops each month. Anyone interested in helping please email mconnelly@saintspride.com , and I will forward the information to Mrs. Elias.

Latin Pop Concert to Benefit Local Hispanic Students Through Tuition Assistance

Elizabeth Belew — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 03:00:48 +0000

Latin pop & Christian music group, “Son by 4” and music ministry “Hermanos Fuego Nuevo,” will be performing in a concert fundraiser benefiting the Jethsuby Scholarship Fund of the Catholic Foundation on October 16, 2010, at the Special Events Center in Garland. Funds raised will support scholarships to cover Catholic school tuition for Hispanic elementary students.

“Son by 4” earned International acclaim in 2000 when their single, the Spanish “A Puro Dolor,” was released. The song reached number one on the Latin Billboard charts, staying there for 20 weeks. The band changed their music style to Christian in 2007, and have since released three Christian music albums – “Aqui Esta el Cordero,” “Musica & Palabra Vol. 1 ,” and the most recent, “Abbanuestro.”

Dr. and Mrs. Mauricio Delgado created the Jethsuby Scholarship Fund through The Catholic Foundation in December 2009, and eight scholarships were given in 2010 to Hispanic elementary school children attending Catholic schools in the Diocese of Dallas. Scholarships will cover up to 50 percent of tuition costs.

Dr. Delgado’s ultimate goal is to raise $1 million over the next two years to establish an endowment that will enable the scholarship fund to continue in perpetuity, providing scholarships from the endowment. The Jethsuby Scholarship Fund is open to donations from anyone interested in helping Hispanic students attend Catholic elementary school. Donations can be made to The Catholic Foundation, 5310 Harvest Hill Rd., Suite 248, Dallas, TX 75230

Director of neurology at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children and professor of neurology at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, Dr. Delgado named the scholarship fund after a child he knew whom he thought would have benefited tremendously from attending Catholic school. A son of Mexican immigrants, Jethsuby died at the age of 11 years in a motor vehicle accident. Dr. and Mrs. Delgado decided to help other children interested in attending Catholic school whose families faced financial obstacles, in honor of Jethsuby.

St. Elizabeth School requests that we as a school community join the Most Reverend Kevin J. Farrell, D.D., Bishop of Dallas in his support of this worthy fundraiser. You may purchase tickets online at www.specialeventscenter.com. Ticket prices range from $50-$20.
