Irish Week Challenge raises more than $5,300.
The Irish Week Challenge was a tremendous success! The 2nd Annual Irish Week Challenge raised more than $5300 in support of our school and the annual appeal – The Notre Dame Fund.
The challenge also reminded us of the great impact of all of our teachers as we honored Fr. James Strasz, Mrs. Ellen Tessada, Mr. Norman Kotarski, and Ms. Kathy Bembas. Thank you to each of our "legends" for lending their names and support to the challenge.
The final standings for the challenge are as follows:
Team Strasz – 60 ($2087.50)
Team Bembas – 32 ($1112.58)
Team Tessada – 28 ($967.50)
Team Kotarski – 23 ($787.50)
Thank you to all of you who participated, donated, and helped us honor four of our school's legends. Your donations are very much appreciated and will go right into making Notre Dame better for every student, every day!
Special thanks go out to our team captains: Mary Jane Carlin Pasko, Kelly (Cole) Patterson '99, Molly (Coldren) Campbell '08, Bobbie (Bieszki) Hall '00, Dan Staniszewski '02, Kimberly Anderson, Anthony Butorac, and Jocelynn Yaroch! You did an awesome job!
