Help us Save Saint Matthias Catholic Academy

Dear friends and families of St. Matthias Catholic Academy and the surrounding neighborhoods,

Urgent Community Announcement!

It’s a critical time for all of us in the Ridgewood community as we face the heartbreaking news of the impending closure of St. Matthias Catholic Academy. For 114 years, this beloved institution has not only been a beacon of learning and faith but has also been home to generations who cherish and uphold its values.

✨ But there’s hope! ✨

We’ve been given a two-week window to change the future of St. Matthias.

Our mission? To welcome 50 new families into our school community. It’s a tall order, but one that we believe, with the support and love of our community, is entirely possible.

St. Matthias is not just a school; it is a vibrant community, a second family for many of us. Our environment fosters growth, learning, and compassion. We offer a wide array of resources for our children, including sports, recreational arts and crafts, and after-school care. All denominations and religions are welcome!

Moreover, our students are known for their exemplary behavior and dedication to learning. At St. Matthias, they receive not just an education, but a foundation for life built on values, integrity, and excellence.

Here’s where you come in:

1. **Spread the Word**: Share this message far and wide. Whether you’re connected to our school or simply believe in the value of diverse, faith-based education, your voice can make a difference.

2. **Incredible Opportunity for New Families**: Each new enrollment brings us one step closer to our goal and offers families a fantastic start with a $1,000 credit towards their first year’s tuition. Financial aid is also available, ensuring that St. Matthias is an option for every interested family.

3. **Open to All Faiths**: We are proud to extend our arms to students and families of all faiths. Our community is enriched by diversity, and we uphold inclusion and mutual respect at the core of our values.

**How to Help**:

- **Enroll**: If you’ve been considering St. Matthias for your child’s education, now is the perfect opportunity. Take a tour, ask questions, and see what makes our academy so special.

- **Share**: Use your social media platforms, email, or even good old-fashioned word of mouth to spread the news. Every share, every conversation starts a ripple effect that could lead to new enrollments.

- **Pray**: For those who share in our faith, your prayers for the success of this endeavor and the future of our school are deeply valued.

Let's come together, spread the word, and ensure that the halls of St. Matthias continue to echo with laughter, learning, and love for generations to come. Together, we can turn the tide.
