During Hurricane Milton, St. Joseph Catholic School had a section of the north wing roof torn apart causing water to leak into the insulation and ceiling tiles in two classrooms. In addition, gutters, piping and wiring were strewn about, and numerous trees and limbs were damaged and needed to be removed. Our hydroponics garden enrichment was also damaged and will need to be rebuilt.
Due to the amount of the deductible, these unexpected expenses will not be covered by insurance and will be adding additional strain on the school's resources. We expect a need of at least $125,000 to cover the repairs.
Want to support the "Raise the Roof" Fundraising Initiative? Donation links are NOW LIVE to help raise funds to repair the school.
Give your child the gift of a Catholic education. SJCS is a wonderful place for children to grow in Faith, Academics, and Leadership. Enrollment Season is now open for PreK through Grade 8, and scholarship opportunities are available.
