EITC celebration in Harrisburg; can you go?
Many of our families have been given tuition grants through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program since the Pennsylvania legislature adopted EITC eleven years ago. We need a few parents, grandparents, or friends to represent our school on May 9 at the Birthday Party in Harrisburg to celebrate those 11 years of success.
The Birthday Party is a way to thank legislators for their support of the program and to remind them of Pennsylvania families impacted by EITC.
Please consider going on this trip (transportation provided by the Diocese) to show our support. One or two people would make a difference.
See the flier for more details and an RSVP. Please call Sr. Lynn with questions or to attend.
