The Catholic Schools Center of Excellence is a nonprofit organization with a simple two-part mission:
to help Catholic elementary schools achieve and maintain excellence while increasing student enrollment.
The PTO met with CSCOE over the summer and Nativity was chosen to receive a $ check for aiding CSCOE in their volunteer needs during their May Bash which is their largest fundraiser.
Last year their proceeds went to aiding catholic schools in building STEM programs.
