Saint Patricks School Foundation | Application Preview

The Saint Patrick School Foundation is applying for government grants to fund the construction of a new playground for its students, who range from pre-kindergarten to eighth grade and number over 100. The primary goal is to enhance physical activity among children to combat rising childhood obesity rates in the community. By providing a dedicated space for outdoor play during recess and other activities, the foundation aims to promote healthier lifestyles among students.

As the school attracts more families, it hopes to strengthen its annual support through initiatives like this playground. The foundation emphasizes that not all children are inclined to participate in organized sports, and the playground will serve as an inclusive outlet for physical expression and energy.

The foundation argues that funding this playground aligns with its mission to educate students in a Christ-centered environment while fostering a vital part of their development—physical health. Located in a competitive education landscape with several public schools nearby, Saint Patrick School seeks to distinguish itself by demonstrating a commitment to the well-being of its students and showing the community that their needs are valued.

The foundation prides itself on its proactive approach to education and continuous improvement, aiming to equip students with essential life skills and success strategies. The addition of a playground represents a tangible investment in the school's educational mission and community engagement.

• Funding Usage

  This is to help place a new playground for the children at the school. We have over 100 kids and it is pre-k through 8th grade. We are trying to help decrease the childhood obesity rates within the area. If we can get a decent playground structure built for recess/outdoor activity playtime, we can increase their physical activity levels throughout the day.

• Business Plan

  As more students and families come aboard to St Pats and Divine Grace, the more we can grow the foundations yearly support. This playground will show that we are cognizant about the youth and their overall health. Not all kids want to play sports. This is an outlet for that energy to blow off. Saint Patrick School exists to educate all students to be the light of Jesus in every interaction through a Christ-centered academic environment.The community of Saint Patrick Catholic School invites every student to have a daily life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ.

• Self Identified Competition

  We are a smaller private school within Monroe County. We have 3 public schools (airport schools) 4 miles away that house the same grades we do. We just want the best for our students and to show the community we serve that we value their enrollment. We put in the work. We are always looking for ways to better our educational delivery approach and seek out most practical way to achieve it. We believe that school should be about learning how to perform the tasks needed in this world. How to succeed.
