SUPPORT THE AD & PATRON DRIVE
With your support you can help our student performers and be part of an amazing tradition at Camden Catholic High School- the spring musical which started in 1922.  There are many aspects to putting together such a tremendous musical and the Ad and Patron book is  critical  to help fund costumes, staging, and technical pieces. The proceeds from this ad book help to keep this great tradition alive and thriving!

ACTION ALERT: TRANSPORTATION

The issue of nonpublic school transportation is the top priority of our budget advocacy efforts at this time.  The per-pupil allotment for transportation has been frozen at $884.00 since 2008.  THIS MUST BE INCREASED in the next budget, or the future of many of our Catholic schools, who rely heavily on this transportation, will be in jeopardy.

We are told by those who work in the Governor's office that, at this stage, there is strength in numbers, and that the number of letters, emails, and phone calls made to the Governor's office does have a bearing on which issues get the greatest attention. Please review the below linked document and information sheet.  Let us all join with great enthusiasm in prayer and ACTION, so that 2016 may be the year in which the freeze on nonpublic transportation may be lifted.
THANK YOU!
