Our Annual Kick-Off Campaign?
Make a donation to the Parents’ Association Kick-Off Campaign and share our fundraiser with your family and friends. Bishop Dunne is a diverse school where middle and high school students get the opportunity to try new things – to explore, inquire, lead, and serve in a joyful community of faith. Let’s tell the community about our great school.
Share your story! We’re asking families to share their story about Bishop Dunne. Tell your family, friends, and colleagues—Why Dunne? Brag about how your child has thrived there (please, BRAG!), and why everyone should seriously consider sending their children to Bishop Dunne. Simply email your story to 5-15 people and include the link to our Kick-Off Campaign Fundraiser. Gifts of any size make an impact!

Thankful Thursdays Reference Sheet for Class Room Parents
Every month the PA Grade Level Captains organize food and drink and goodies to let our staff know how much we love and appreciate them.
- To make a donation to Thankful Thursday, parents can use the link in the Falconer or click here.
- Lead Class Room Parents can contact the BD PAC Treasurer to see how much money has been donated. They can then buy supplies, food and beverages for Thankful Thursdays using the money that has been donated. Please keep all the receipts for items you wish to be reimbursed.
- Once the event is over, the Lead Class Room Parent can email the BD PAC Treasurer at bdpactreasurer@gmail.com with copies of their receipts in PDF format for reimbursement. Please also include the following information for proper reimbursement: name of person requesting reimbursement, their address, email address and phone number.
- When the BD PAC Treasurer receives this information, they will then submit a reimbursement request to the Business Office. Once the request has gone through the proper approvals, a check will be cut and sent to the person requesting the reimbursement at the address they submitted. This usually takes 3-5 days.
- Questions can be emailed to the BD PAC Treasurer at bdpactreasurer@gmail.com.
