Catholic Schools Annual Report for 2012

St. Anna's Wins Arts Contest

Bob's Discount Furniture, through its Bob’s Outreach program, announced the winners of its annual Celebrate the Arts contest. In an effort to support and maintain dance, music and the arts in schools this year, Bob's Outreach is awarding $45,000 in cultural grants to deserving schools throughout the Northeast. St. Anna Catholic School, located in Leominster, is the lucky winner for Massachusetts. In fact, the school has been "twice blessed," as St. Anna won a $3000 grant from Bob's in 2008.

This year, Bob’s Discount Furniture received thousands of submissions from parents, students, teachers, administrators and community members.
Each year, Bob’s Outreach receives thousands of submissions and selects one K-12 school in each of the nine states (CT, MA, ME, NH, NJ, NY, RI, MD, VA) where Bob's Discount Furniture stores are located to win a $5,000 grant. The money will be used to support cultural arts programs during the 2012-2013 school year.

Worcester Diocese Catholic School Students Feel Safer at School than the National Average

Students who feel safe and respected at school are more likely to be engaged in learning and able to pursue their goals. Student safety has always been a priority for our Catholic schools. Recently our schools took part in The Million Voice Project (sponsored by the Pearson Foundation), a national survey for students in grades 6-12 that evaluates school climate from the perspective of students. In all statements regarding student safety and respect, our Catholic school students testified to an experience of school that feels safer and is more respectful than the national average.
