Gifts To Greatness

A desire for teachers and staff at Lansing Catholic High School to bring your students' experience at LCHS to the next level, inside and outside the classroom.
 
Traditionally, Lansing Catholic has coordinated the compilation of a Wish List from faculty and staff for items to enhance student learning, curriculum, and the classroom environment. As we carry on the spirit of the traditional Wish List format, we are working to advance the program and inspire you to give Gifts To Greatness.
 
You are invited to give a gift in partnership with the teachers at Lansing Catholic High School to help students achieve their greatest potential. With Gifts To Greatness, we hope you are motivated to improve the educational landscape through transformational gifts that have a direct impact on students every day in the classroom.

Snowblower Attachment for Bobcat $7,300 Maintenance Mr. Randee Bonk
