When were invited to serve as co-chairs of the Blue & Gold Annual Fund, the decision to say “yes” was an easy one. The Buckley family has had at least one child enrolled in JPll continuously since 2011 (and that streak will hopefully continue to 2031!).
Through the years we have witnessed in our family and in countless other families the advantages that our JPll school provides. We have seen faculty be attentive and compassionate to students struggling socially. We have noted teachers putting in time outside the classroom to help with difficult academic topics. We have watched coaches demand that athletes compete hard and fairly, while treating opponents with respect and dignity. We appreciate that opportunities to participate in Mass, prayer and the sacraments are commonplace.
Everything JPll teaches – in academics, athletics, and the arts – is based on the foundation of Truth and Faith. Upon this foundation, every administrator and teacher guides our students toward being well-educated people, and more importantly decent and fully formed citizens.
When you contribute to the Blue & Gold Annual Fund, you affect positive change and growth at the school; and you are truly contributing to the development of minds and souls that will drive our future society in ways both large and small.
Your support through the Blue & Gold Annual Fund will help ensure that JPll is able to carry on with this most important mission today, while continuing to adapt and grow as the needs of our students and society change. This a certainly a noble cause with far-reaching effects; we sincerely ask that you join us in being part of it!
