Academy of Saint Bartholomew

From Pavement to Possibilities!

We aren't just repaving a parking lot. We are turning our parking lot into a place where childhood happens! Our We Give Catholic campaign is about creating a safe, inviting outdoor space where students can play, explore, grow, and enjoy the beauty of God's creation.

Phase 1: A Place to Play

Fresh pavement, colorful activity zones, sports markings, and safe play spaces.

Phase 2: A Place to Explore

Trees, natural climbing elements, a wooden pirate ship, balance beams, and imaginative play.

Thank You for Your Incredible Support!

Over the past three years, your generous donations have made a remarkable impact. Thanks to your continued support, we successfully completed renovations on all three floors of our school building.  

The lower level, first & second floors and main office have been transformed with new flooring and freshly painted walls, bringing renewed energy to our learning and work spaces. 

None of this would have been possible without the vision, creativity, and generosity of our parish and school community. Because of you, we continue to grow—not just in our facilities, but in the learning opportunities we provide our students.

Thank you for being an essential part of our journey! Let's keep it going in 2026! 

Now, it is time to turn our attention outdoors!

Help Us Pave the Way for Play!

What if a parking lot could become so much more than a parking lot? What if it could become a place where friendships grow, imaginations take flight, adventures begin, and childhood memories are made?

At the Academy of St. Bartholomew, we envision transforming our parking lot play area into a safe, welcoming, and exciting outdoor space for our students. Our first step is to repave and redesign the existing play area, providing a smooth, safe surface where children can run, play, participate in sports, and simply enjoy being kids!

But we're dreaming even bigger!

Our next phase will extend beyond the pavement by creating a beautiful nature playground that connects our redesigned parking lot play area to our existing nature playground space. Imagine natural elements, opportunities for exploration, creative play, and spaces that encourage children to discover the beauty of God's creation.

This project is about more than new pavement. It's about creating an outdoor environment where students can move, imagine, explore, build friendships, and grow together! 

On Tuesday, December 1, 2026, please support the Academy of St. Bartholomew through #WeGiveCatholic!

Every dollar raised brings us one step closer to making this vision a reality. No gift is too small when we work together for our students!

Help us pave the way for play! 

Together, we can turn ordinary Pavement into extraordinary Possibilities!

Get to know St. Bart's

Since opening its doors in 1957, the Academy of Saint Bartholomew has served as both a church and a school, bringing faith, learning, and community together. Today, we continue that mission by promoting faith in God, belief in self, and goodness toward others. As a Catholic school, our teachings are rooted in the Gospels and aligned with state and diocesan curriculum standards. We are a fully accredited PreK–8 school with dedicated and enthusiastic staff who celebrate the growth, progress, and success of every student.

We recognize that every child is a “unique and unrepeatable” gift from God. Because each student learns differently, our staff strives to meet children where they are academically, socially, and developmentally, providing the instruction and support they need to reach their God-given potential. Through partnerships with local public school districts and state and federal agencies, we provide opportunities for academic intervention, individualized support, and enrichment.

Thank you for believing in our students, supporting our Catholic mission, and investing in the future of the Academy of St. Bartholomew. Together, we are building a school community where every child is encouraged to discover their God-given gifts and reach their full potential.

With your continued support, we can keep moving forward in our vision for ASB—a place to PRAY, LEARN, and PLAY!
