EDWARDSVILLE Six schools recently received more than $25,000 through a new grant program from the Scott Credit Union Community Foundation.
“At a time when schools may be struggling to fund projects that will benefit their students, we wanted them to know that we are ‘With You,’” said Frank Padak, Scott Credit Union President and CEO. “We established the With You education grant program last fall to support initiatives that positively impact the young people of our community.”
A volunteer committee reviewed the 61 applications received; all submissions remained anonymous until after the winners were selected. Winners were chosen based on need, the percentage of student enrollment impacted by the project and the direct benefit the projects will offer to students. Selected schools were:
OSWEGO â A drive-thru at Trinity Catholic Schoolâs parking lot from noon to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 6, will be held for a $12 pulled pork or barbecue chicken dinner and dessert.
People are asked to wait until noon to arrive for pickup. From 11 a.m. to noon volunteers will prepare/deliver complimentary dinners to local healthcare workers at Oswego Hospital, a cause for which students have contributed funds to honor these public servants.
The funds raised from dinner sales will support Trinityâs Scholarship Fund.
Pre-orders are recommended, but dinners will be served until sold out.
People may call the school at 315-343-6700 to reserve or pay online at paypal.me/trinityhomeandschool (and choose the option âPersonalâ). Cash and checks made to Trinity Catholic School will be accepted beforehand or the day-of. Be sure to select either a half chicken or pulled pork dinner as well as the quantity when placing orders.

St. Joseph’s reborn at Morrow Park January 14, 2021
Years of construction are finally complete and St. Joseph’s Morrow Park Catholic Secondary School just awaits the lifting of pandemic restrictions to welcome students to their new home.
With furniture moved in, faculty and students are eager to begin classes at the newly-completed school once COVID-19 remote learning mandates are lifted in southern Ontario. Students are scheduled to return to class Jan. 25, but there are concerns that the suspension of in-person learning could extend beyond that date.
“It’s such a beautiful building,” said Patricia Coburn, principal at the all-girls school since 2014. “It’s been such a long haul. Our students and parents have been so amazing and accommodating. They’re coming (to the new school) and I can’t wait for them to see it. With COVID-19 it’s going to be delayed unfortunately, but it’s not going to take away the complete excitement of students and teachers.
