To the St. Ladislaus Catholic School Community,

The Big Shoulders Fund is pleased to announce a significant new investment in technology that will help the students at St. Lad's beginning in the fall of 2012, and that they'll continue to benefit from for years to come! Over this summer, Big Shoulders will invest approximately $40,000 to enable the school to upgrade its technology throughout the school buildings.

The upgrades will likely include new laptops for junior high students, new in-classroom computers for primary and early childhood students, and multiple new interactive whiteboards. With this technology expansion, teachers will be better able to differentiate classroom instruction to meet your children's needs. We're working out the exact details, but we'd like the community to be aware of this investment now given that registration for the 2012-2013 school year has started.

This investment is not only a next step in Big Shoulders' longstanding commitment to providing technology-based learning opportunities for your students, but it's also indicative of how important St. Ladislaus Catholic School is to us and to your community. We view this investment as indicative of our strong interest in ensuring that your school remains a vibrant place of learning in academics, values and faith for many years to come. We look forward to coming to see your children enjoying the fruits of our donors' generosity, and encourage parents to enroll early for the coming school year.

Sincerely,

John J. Moran Patrons Program Director
