Teacher Christmas Bonus

At St. Patrick School, we have a long-standing tradition of gifting the teachers with a Christmas bonus made up from donations from school and parish families.

Donations to the Teacher Christmas Collection will be collected beginning at the Christmas Program on Thursday December 3rd, and at masses in mid-December.

• Monetary donations can be brought to school in an enveloped marked ‘Teacher Collection’ or you can Venmo your donation to @StPatrick-Lincoln with a comment of ‘Teacher Collection’.
• A 2nd collection will taken up after masses mid-December.

While our teachers can never be thanked enough for their endless commitment and sacrifices they make for our school family, this Christmas Collection is one way to say ‘thanks’.

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will also be.”Matthew 6:21
