Brendan P. Opdycke Scholarship Funds
It is still not too late to donate to the Brendan P. Opdycke Scholarship Funds.
Last year, the Brendan P. Opdycke Memorial Graduation Scholarship Fund was created and given as a gift presented to a graduating
8th Grade boy planning to attend Bethlehem Catholic High School.
This year we established the Brendan P. Opdycke SSPJ Memorial Scholarship Fund to assist families of our elementary school students
who experience a change in financial circumstance during the school year.
If, after thoughtful prayer, you decide to make a donation, please write either "graduation" or "elementary school" on the memo line
of your check.
God Bless You and thank you to my wonderfl SSPJ family - I could not have made it through this school year without you. I am truly
blessed.

Campbell's Soup Labels
The Campbell's Soup Labels have been sent in for the 2007-08 school year. In total, we accumulated over 12,000 label points for the year! Thanks to all the SSPJ families who clipped and saved labels at home which enabled us to reach this total. Please remember to keep saving labels over the summer to jumpstart our 2008-09 collection!
