School of St. Philip Upcoming Fundraisers

The students and staff at the School of St. Philip in Litchfield are getting ready for Catholic Schools Week at the end of this month. The school also has a number of fundraising events coming up.

Principal Andrea Dietrich says Catholic Schools Week is always held the last week of January so the students have field trips scheduled for Black Light and the Children’s Museum in St. Cloud, along with special events like bingo and some community service projects, and the week will actually kick off with a spaghetti dinner on January 24th from 4:30-to-6:30 p.m. in the St. Philip’s Church Social Hall. The Knights of Columbus will serve a breakfast at the church the next morning – January 25th.

Dietrich says the annual Seeds of Faith Fundraiser this year will feature Song Blast Dueling Guitars on Saturday, January 31st at the Litchfield Eagles Club and the $50 tickets are available by calling the school of St. Philip. She says proceeds from the event help with scholarships, and they can enroll students at any time.

Dietrich says you don’t have to be Catholic to enroll at the School of St. Philip and they offer small class sizes and teach good values. She says she can give tours to families who are interested at any time, and they have a Discovery Day later in February which may be a good time to check out the school.
