“Is My Child Ready for Tackle Football?” Jr Bolts Informational Meeting & Work-out
We’re hosting a “come and see” event for families who are undecided about tackle football.

During this one hour event, players will participate in some fun non-contact drills (including tackling dummies), while parents can ask questions and learn more about the program. This is a great opportunity for families who are on the fence and who have not registered for Jr Bolts Football.
- Wednesday, July 8
- 5–6pm
- Aldrich Field
Visit https://www.jrbolts.com/football/ for more information and to get registered. Jr Bolts tackle football is open to all Catholic school students in 3rd-8th grade. If you have any questions please contact Taylor Ashburn at jrboltsfootball@gmail.com.

Fundraisers
SCRIP
What is Scrip? “Scrip” turns everyday shopping into cash for the St. Patrick Church and School. Purchase gift cards at face value in advance to use at checkout, instead of paying with credit, debit card, check or cash.
How Does It Work? Purchase gift cards at face value from local merchants who designate their own discount percentage ranging from 1.5% to 30%. The discount amount translates to profit for the St. Patrick!
- $50 Marcus Theatres gift card at 8% = $4 St. Patrick profit
- $100 Walmart gift card at 2.% = $2.50 St. Patrick profit
Purchase SCRIP before shopping by filling out this form and turning it into the parish office or call in your order to the rectory at 402.466.2752 and we can prepare your order ahead for you. SCRIP can also be purchased at the parish office or after weekend masses.
We’re excited to share that our school is participating in Cash for Classrooms, part of Casey’s Rewards. This opens up St. Patrick School to new funding opportunities to help improve learning environments for students.
The best part? Donations don’t come out of your own pocket. When you buy from Casey’s and use their rewards program you can simply turn your points into a donation to our school.
Help St. Patrick School make the most of this program and learn more at Caseys.com/schools.
