THE GREAT TECHNOLOGY GIVEAWAY
This event generates awareness about our catholic schools and awards dollars to 24 participating Catholic grade schools throughout our Diocese during Catholic Schools Week in the month of January each year.
The entries from students included videos of bible stories, promoting their school, a bible verse or a saint. There are 3 levels of funding offered to the 24 schools. Depending on needs and a case for the utilization of funds. These funds support the schools in the quest for technology to enable education that uses i-Pads, chrome books or other technology needs.
