​Peanut Butter & Jelly. Milk & Cookies. Senior & Kindergarten Buddies. These are just a few things that go better together.  
While this year has challenged us to remain connected and deepen relationships in new ways, the Catholic Schools of Fairbanks community has proven we are truly “Better Together.”  
Here some examples of how we are leading the way amid a pandemic:

• Since August 17, we have provided our community with an in-person education option. Our students tell us how thankful they are to be in-person with their peers and teachers during the school day. We also offered virtual education options in order to give families flexibility. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
• Athletics remained an integral part of our schools. Student athletes competed in all of our regularly offered sports with Covid mitigation measures in place. Recently, both the girls and boys basketball teams were invited to the state tournament and the boys brought home the trophy. 
• When it came to planning the HIPOW Auction & Dinner and the St. Patrick’s Day Raffle, we had to get creative. While both events were different, they were incredibly successful. This is thanks to everyone chipping in however they could and working together. We’re grateful. 

In a time when we might feel fatigued and like we have little more to give, we are asked to do more. The word “Magis” comes to mind. It means “more” or “greater.” At the Catholic Schools of Fairbanks, we have been called to the “Magis” for the past 63 years. Our community strives to do more for others.    

Alumni, parents of alumni, current parents, and friends of the school are integral to the success of the Spring Fundraiser. I hope you take this opportunity to continue supporting our schools. Anything you are able to give, big or small, makes a difference in the lives of children. Spring Matching Fundraiser

All donations will be doubled. Thanks to the generosity of Skip & Linda Johnson, Bert & Becky Bell, Jim & Sandra Haselberger, Bill & Marsha Pike, and The Stroecker Foundation, your donation will be doubled up to $90,000. $25 will become $50, $50 will become $100, and $100 becomes $200. It’s another opportunity for us to be “Better Together.”
