One of two school-wide service projects during National Catholic Schools Week involved students collecting items and creating bags that will be handed out to recipients of the Maine Needs organization in Portland, Maine.
Students in all of our grades touched the lives of many through various acts of kindness and generosity on Giving Tuesday. "Love thy Neighbor" was put into action and brought smiles and sunshine on a dreary day.
For generations, St. Brigid School has hosted the Annual Harvest Fair Fundraiser, but due to Covid restrictions, it was not possible to present this safely. Development Director, Courtney Morgan took a different path for this year's fundraiser and the event was wildly successful, raising $20,000!
To assist with the wide reaching effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, St. Brigid School staff, students, and families participated in a summer long service project. It consisted of several small and large acts of service, giving everyone opportunities to put the corporal works of mercy into practice. One of our alumni, who is currently a parent and owner of The Squeeze Lemonade stand generously helped out with this event.
In answer to the question "When the pandemic is over, what will St. Brigid School have done to make an impact on our community?" St. Brigid staff developed a Summer long service project to engage students, families, and staff in activites meant to help each other, the community, and the state deal with and recover from the effects of Covid-19.
St. Brigid School hosted a Live Nativity which included performances by students, caroling, crafts, activities and a visti from Santa and his reindeer!
