Capital Gifts
Gifts to capital improvements help us meet needs, goals and dreams to maintain the high standard of excellence at Our Lady of Sorrows. Capital gifts are made to the Saints for Tomorrow Annual Fund and designated by donors for a specific capital improvement including facility improvements, academic updates, and identity enhancements. Capital gifts designations are made in collaboration with the School Leadership Team to align with the current goals and missions of the school.
2023-2024 Capital Improvements:
During the 2023-2024 fiscal year, we were able to create a lasting impact for current and future Our Lady of Sorrows Saints with several important capital improvements to our campus. Each of the following projects was only made possible through the generosity of our benefactors.
The most significant improvement was Phase 2 of the bathroom renovation project. Work was completed on the bathrooms in the middle school wing and in the fifth-grade hallway. They now match our lower school facilities with higher quality materials, improved aesthetics, and easier to clean surfaces for our entire Our Lady of Sorrows community to enjoy.
To cheer on our Saints on the athletic field, we installed a new 12x18 foot scoreboard that can be seen from all vantage points. The board is used during Our Lady of Sorrows CYO sporting events and other school related events and activities. Go Saints!
A commitment to both enhanced technology and student and staff safety remains a high priority. A new fire alarm system was installed in the Middle School and all campus entry and exit doors were reviewed for safety and several of them were updated. In the cafeteria, we installed a new projector system and a large screen that are used at countless school and parish meetings and events.
Over the last few years we have worked to improve the branding around campus, bringing in our traditional colors, taglines and logos. In the main school lobby, we added our school name and year of establishment. In the cafeteria, permanent vinyl signage with the school mission and prayer was installed. In the hallway leading up to the Middle School, we have the OLS High school composites. This Alumni Hallway received new signage depicting our important school motto “Once a Saint, Always a Saint”. Finally, we replaced the safety mats in the gym and brought in our Sorrows Blue.
