Rock Creek Middle School clubs provide students with meaningful opportunities to explore their interests, build lasting friendships, develop leadership skills, and discover where they belong. These activities enrich the middle school experience by creating spaces where students can connect with peers, gain confidence, and develop talents that extend far beyond the classroom.

Donor support will help purchase hands-on project materials, books, games, technology resources, art and STEM supplies, and other tools that inspire creativity, collaboration, and learning. While our school and dedicated staff generously provide their time, leadership, and supervision, additional funding is essential to ensure students have access to high-quality experiences that spark curiosity and encourage participation.

The St. Marys Grade School is seeking financial support to provide educational games and resources that can supplement our core curriculum and better support student learning in the classroom. Our school has placed a strong emphasis on providing interventions within the classroom and creating systems that allow teachers to regularly check in with students and provide targeted support that best meets the needs of individual students or small groups.

There are many educational interactive games and other resources that make learning fun while reinforcing the key skills we want our students to master. More importantly, many of these activities can be completed independently by students. This allows teachers to provide small-group interventions and targeted instruction during core classes such as English-language arts and math while other students continue to be meaningfully engaged with the content.

At Wellsprings of Westmoreland, we strive to create an environment that is not just a place of care, but a true home for our residents – a sanctuary filled with warmth, comfort, and joy! We are thrilled to share an opportunity to permanently enhance our shared community space: the installation of a custom-designed stained-glass window. Our current 30-year-old Dalle Verde window is falling apart and cannot be repaired. The new stained-glass window will provide a century of enjoyment for our residents and their families and friends.

In the fall of 2024, volunteers of the parish were tasked with evaluating the needs of the church and its parish members.  Findings of the investigation included addressing needs to meet the growing church attendance and most importantly, addressing the aging structural and outdated mechanical concerns for the 125-year-old building.  The scope of the project was to divide the project into two phases.  Phase I addresses the structural repair and remodeling of the church.  Phase II focuses on updates to spaces to accommodate the growth in the religious education classes and parish activities.  While most of the funds for Phase I of this project have been collected through pledged contributions from parishioners, immediate help is still needed for funding to begin the project in 2027.  Most of the pledges are set to be collected over three years and the collection of immediate capital is limited by the demographics of the families of the parish.  Most families can make a monthly contribution over time, but not able to support a large upfront investment.  Some of the immediate repairs to the physical and mechanical structures of the church are critical to preserve the continued use of the building.  The members of St. Joseph’s are asking for $100,000 to assist their capital campaign and to close the gap in immediate funds required to begin the project.

We recently had one company give us an estimate for replacement for five basic windows. SHOCKED is an understatement for how we felt when the estimate was returned. We thought surely there was some mistake, so we had estimates made by two other companies. And they were all similar.
