The Cathedral and Erie Episcopal are dedicated to forging meaningful partnerships with the Charter School of Excellence.
We provide donations, volunteers and resources to the Charter School of Excellence. By fostering an ongoing relationship, our school partnerships go beyond donations and create meaningful and lasting relationships with students and faculty alike.
We are always discerning new ways to help and foster deeper relationships between our congregations and the schools.
School Supply Drive
Please help our friends at the Charter School of Excellence start off their school year on the right foot and with everything they need for a successful year. We are currently collecting the following items: pens, pencils, colored pencils, crayons, markers, looseleaf paper, 1 inch 3-ring binders, tissue boxes. Items can be brought in through September 30 and placed at the display near the entrance to the church.
Winter Gear Collection
Every Winter, the Cathedral and Erie Episcopal provide our partner schools with close to 200 new winter coats. Additionally, we collect new hats, gloves and scarves to make sure our friends stay warm all winter. Our team works faithfully all year with local business to purchase coats in anticipation of the winter season. For the past two years, St. Mark’s and Erie Episcopal raised over $5000 to ensure the purchase of these items.
Coats are distributed in November directly to the students.Erie Episcopal is keeping our school kids warm this winter. Here is how you can help. You can visit our display near the entrance to the church and take a “coat/snowman” from the display. Each “coat/snowman” asks for a dollar amount to be given to the Cathedral. The School Partnership Team will use this money to purchase much needed coats for students at our partner school. Checks should be made payable to the Cathedral with a memo of “Winter Gear”.
To learn more about how you can help or be involved, contact Carly Rowe.
Snack Bags for The Charter School of Excellence
Erie Episcopal provides weekend snack bags to our partner school, the Charter School of Excellence twice a month. We gather at the Cathedral on scheduled Friday afternoons at 1:00 P.M. to pack the snack bags and then deliver them to the school. If you are interested in learning more, please contact Carly Rowe.
