Raise Your Glass to Catholic Education at the Kerry Wood Nature Centre May 18 (Wednesday)
Join us for a toast to Catholic Education and a tasting experience for a great cause!
Beer, wine and spirits tastings from excellent local crafters. Tasty food samplings from Chef Jeff and his dedicated food students from École Secondaire Notre Dame High School. We’ve also collected some unique silent auction items for you to consider.
All this in the beautiful setting of Kerry Wood Nature Centre where you might even be able to do a bit of star gazing between sips!
Established in 2009, the Red Deer Regional Catholic Education Foundation raises funds to support faith-based initiatives that are not provided by Alberta Education. Here’s a list of just a few of the important projects we’re supporting together:
- Breakfast programs for students in our most vulnerable communities.
- Several student retreats which focused on faith understanding, leadership growth, physical activity, career and personal development.
- Hosting speakers and special programs that raise student awareness to mental, emotional and physical health issues.
- Providing students with tools to support acts of kindness toward each other, discouraging acts of aggression and bullying.
- Supporting and encouraging literacy initiatives, including continued support of the very successful RDCRS READS Summer Reading program.
- Connecting students with seniors residing in care homes who are often lonely.
- Understanding the Catholic faith as the basis for Community Servant Leadership development.
- Helping our youth understand that they are each unique and a Gift of God and do not have to be like everyone else. In these very challenging times, prayer can be an effective source of comfort and inner strength.
- Encouraging students to develop their individual strengths and talents in the areas of art, culture and music.
- Teaching students how to make good choices such as healthy eating, active living, not relying on abusive substances and developing their own identity.
- Providing $2500 in Post-Secondary Scholarship funds for deserving students.
In short, our goal is for increased focus on developing and celebrating “the whole” of each of our students to be the best that they can be, with their faith as a cornerstone of that initiative. Joining us as a sponsor will help ensure our students continue to thrive in faith-based growth and development.
