While public schools have been struggling to bounce back from over a year of virtual learning, Catholic schools have been gaining territory.

Dear Principal Pileggi: On behalf of the Knights of Columbus, Holy Saviour Council #13710, I wish to thank you and your wonderful students for the abundant amount of food you collected for our Thanksgiving food drive. Our council is blessed to have your school collect food for us over the many past years. I am happy to report our council approved making a donation to Notre Dame DeLourdes school in the amount of $250.00 as a general donation to the school. You should be receiving the check shortly. Again, thank you, your students and staff for making our Thanksgiving food drive so successful. It appears we have collected enough food to have a Christmas food drive as well. May you, your staff and all the students have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Blessed Christmas. Regards, Robert Curl, PGK and Thanksgiving food drive member.
