Our Cleveland Schools family is beyond blessed by the continued generosity of St. Bede’s Church. What they do for our students in every single building is nothing short of incredible.

Here’s the impact in numbers:

• Each building (Primary, Intermediate, Middle, High) receives $400 at the start of the school year and then $100 per month for the next 9 months.
• That’s $1,300 per school per year…
• And with four buildings, a grand total of $5,200 poured directly into our kids every year! 🙌
• PLUS, they provide over 100 fully stocked backpacks to kick off each school year—ensuring students start strong. 🎒

But the real story isn’t just the numbers—it’s what those dollars and backpacks do for students:

• Middle School: supplies, food pantry items, notebooks, clothing for students, feminine hygiene products, cultural programming, and sensory tools.
• High School: classroom supplies, toiletries, and a stocked clothing closet with sweatshirts, gloves, and hats for winter.
• Intermediate School: clothing closet, field trip costs for students who otherwise couldn’t go, and a “student needs” fund with over $2,000 available.
• Primary School: healthy snacks, new shoes, and clothing for the clothes closet.

👉 When you add all that up, it’s clear: St. Bede’s is making a direct, daily difference in the lives of Cleveland kids.

From backpacks to field trips, from snacks to warm coats—every dollar finds its way into a student’s hands and heart. We cannot thank St. Bede’s enough for being such a steadfast partner in helping our students thrive. 💛🖤
