Also, if you have any ideas for judges, we would greatly appreciate that information too. It is difficult for some professionals to attend this year because the event is scheduled on a weekday. If you have any questions, please email or call. We look forward to seeing you. Thank you in advance for helping to make the day a success for our future scientists and engineers!
Sincerely, Bill Peterson
Thanks, Gina Hansen
Did you know... The actual cost to educate a student at
Holy Spirit is $5500?
Does your family pay that much tuition?
Some of our families actually pay that actual cost and we thank them very much!
The school also has ways to bridge the gap between tuition and actual educational cost:
1) DARE to DREAM...These earnings fund the yearly expenses of the school.
2) GALA income also funds the yearly expenses. 3) SpiritWalk…these earnings help our teachers
and a specific need, which changes year to year.
Remember, someone helped you become the AMAZING SOUL God created you to be.
You can be that someone for our students at HSCS!
Please prayerfully consider a donation to
DARE- to- DREAM!
