MANY REASONS AND WAYS TO GIVE
Do you know that there are many forms of gifting to Father Andrew White School? We are accustomed to donating by cash or check. But the school can also accept gifts from Donor Advised Funds, Gifts of Stocks and Bonds, IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions, Corporate Matching Gifts, and final bequests. These gifts are facilitated by the Archdiocesan Office of Development but are donated in full to the designated entity.
St. Aloysius will be hosting a meeting on October 13th at 6:30pm in the Parish Hall to discuss these avenues in detail. It is open to anyone who might consider gifting to any Archdiocesan Parish, school or charity. In the meantime, check the “Donation” section in the parish website for a brief description of each type of gift.
Progress Reports
FAW Box of Joy Program
Articulation Screening Information
Here at FAW we strive to Follow God, Always be respectful and kind, and be Willing to learn. This motto helps us teach the student as a whole! Part of that mission includes various yearly screenings to make sure our eyes, ears, and (new this year) speech are developing along with our minds. In the coming weeks, we will be providing an articulation screening. This screening will determine if speech sounds are developing typically or if there are any speech delays or errors. You will be informed of the results of your individual student's screening. It will then be up to you if you would like to do anything further with the information. We can provide you with contact information to get additional screenings.
If your student is already working with a speech pathologist, kindly let us know, as our in-house speech screening will not replace that service, and would not be needed.
Thank you so much! We look forward to providing this additional service for you, our FAW family, in our mission to grow faith-filled, hard working, and well-rounded humans.
Did you know that over fifty million Americans suffer from seasonal allergies?
In the fall, the most common allergy culprits are ragweed pollen, mold, and dust mites. Here at school, we now have air purifiers in each room to help remove these and other allergens. Environmental conditions make some days worse than others, but you can check out the daily allergy forecast to help you be prepared: https://allergyasthmanetwork.org/weather
