Each year at Cathedral of the Risen Christ School, the school’s families and donor team have contributed a monetary gift to the “Christmas Bonus Fund” which is then divided amongst the staff and teachers. This year the kindness was incredible and was the most generous yet! Cathedral is blessed to have the most charitable families and donors, and the staff wished to share the following notes of gratitude with the Eagle community:
Dear Eagle Family of families,
If it was possible, I overuse that term - Family. Yet, after the generosity of the teacher bonus program run so successfully by Director of Development Erin Trummer, I feel it is as fitting as ever. And while I applaud Erin, I stand on my feet for all of you wildly clapping both for your contributions and your incredible support.
As we teach our kiddos, prayer is not just about asking God for something. Rather, we adore, express our contrition and also give thanks. Be assured of our prayers of gratitude for each of you and your children - Merry Christmas!
Jeremy Ekeler
Principal
Thank you, Cathedral families, for your very generous and heart-felt donations. The amount raised truly shows what kind and thoughtful families Cathedral has. This generosity and caring even extends beyond Christmas and is shown through the kind words, volunteer hours, sweet notes from students, and financial support. Cathedral truly is a family that supports and cares for one another and we are beyond blessed. I hope each and every one of you has a truly amazing 2020!
