North Texas Giving Day

September 15, 2017 | Media

THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to Cistercian through North Texas Giving Day!!! Once again, the strength of the Cistercian community shown bright for all of North Texas to see.

The response from current parents, alumni, and alumni parents was absolutely overwhelming, with $672,681 raised from 767 donors! Amazingly enough, this is yet another new record fundraising day for the School. The Communities Foundation of Texas (CFT) will provide an additional percentage of bonus funds on top of the money we raised yesterday, so our final number will be even higher.

Thank you! We sincerely appreciate such a strong show of support in helping us to continue our mission of educating fine young men in the Cistercian tradition.

In Form I Social Studies, fifth graders were introduced to the life of Julius Caesar. Three students claimed to be the real Caesar, but only one was telling the truth. The other two were imposters. Using clues from each presentation, the rest of the class had to decide who was authentic.

Clean Water Supplies

Students in Forms VI and VII packed clean water supplies, including water bottles and iodine tablets, along with hygiene products such as soap and hand sanitizer, to be sent to communities around the world where access to clean water is limited.
