General Announcements

St. Joan of Arc School needs help to create outdoor science lab in May

As St. Joan of Arc School in Indianapolis prepares to create an outdoor science lab in May, school leaders have announced a fundraiser to memorialize contributions to the school’s improvement effort.

On May 20, the school community will plant trees, shrubs and flowers around the campus while creating the outdoor science lab, according to Jamie Pachciarz, a member of the school’s parent organization.

The effort will include the help of 60 employees from Eli Lilly and Company, and a grant from Keep Indianapolis Beautiful.

“In addition, a brick-paved sidewalk will be installed outside the front door of the school to memorialize contributions to the school’s improvement effort,” Pachciarz said.

Alumni of the school are especially invited to purchase a personalized brick. Anyone interested in buying a brick can contact the school at 317-283-1518.

“With their family name carved in brick,” Pachciarz said, “donors will have a permanent reminder of their fond memories of this beloved church and school.”
