Bishop Ward’s annual auction is our largest fundraising event that supports the Student Scholarship Fund. The Student Scholarship Fund is used to help students afford tuition, textbooks, chromebooks and the essentials to attend Bishop Ward. When you make a donation, when you place the highest bid, when you sponsor - you are helping lay the groundwork for a child to earn a quality Catholic education. You are helping parents provide for their child, you are helping the child fulfill their dreams, goals and aspirations; you are changing their lives for the better. The Student Scholarship Fund and your support are vital to the lives and education of our students. Join us virtually to help change lives! Please visit http://bwhs.us/auction

This year’s Fund-A-Need focuses on transforming our math department into an Active Learning Center. We’ll replace the standard desks (in columns and rows) with movable furnishings, in which students can stand or sit. Imagine flexible furniture set up in small groups for collaboration and problem solving… that flips into individualized seating for testing. Each classroom can be set up for presentations, group work, or discussion depending on the instructors needs that day. Would you like to donate to our Fund-A-Need?
