Springfield - Saint Agnes
Parish, School Work Together To Build For Their Future

Saint Agnes School is looking to the future to provide an environment so each student can develop in all aspects, spiritually, intellectually, morally and emotionally.  As a Catholic educational community, Saint Agnes is created, supported and nurtured by the parish.  This year our parish's Annual Giving Campaign is intended to "Help Build Our Children's Future!"

Under the leadership and guidance of Sister M. Joan Sorge, OP, principal and Father Bob Jallas, pastor, one goal of the annual fund is to provide 30 laptop computers for classroom use.  This wireless mobile lab is an innovative approach to learning which will allow total class computer instruction in every classroom.  The goal of the mobile lab is to enable each classroom to have research and writing capabilities.

A second goal of the annual fund is to establish a preschool program for the fall of the 2006 school year.  The mission of Saint Agnes' Preschool is as follows:  Saint Agnes Preschool will provide a first school experience in a faith-centered environment that nurtures in each child a love for learning.  This development program will encourage the growth of each child's God-given talents and abilities.  The curriculum will include social interaction, intellectual stimulation, spiritual direction, physical development and emotional growth.  Saint Agnes Preschoolers will learn, grow and develop in a warm and loving environment.

The annual fund will be used to purchase curriculum materials and equipment for a 3- and 4-year old educational program.

The dedication, support and hard work of our principal, pastor, parents, staff and volunteers are making the preschool and Mobile Lab a reality.  Through our God-given talents and resources, Saint Agnes School is "Building A Future For Our Children".
