Two donors recently visited a classroom at Sacred Heart Catholic School in Shawano to see how their donation was being used.
Bill Albright, who lives in Georgia, and his sister, Julie Erickson, who lives in Iowa, made a donation to Sacred Heart in honor of their parents, Dr. John and Sue Albright, who both died in 2010. John Albright practiced medicine in Shawano for over 40 years. Julie and Bill and two brothers graduated from Sacred Heart.
A plaque in the school’s 4K room designates it as the Albright Room.
Teacher Corinne Salerno said the donation helped with many wonderful items including a new floor, interactive smartboard, games, toys and a colorful rug.
The 4K students presented a handmade thank you poster to the Albright family.
“The Albright donation is a wonderful help to continue the growth of the 3-year-old preschool and 4K program,” said the Rev. Luke Ferris, pastor at Sacred Heart.
“We just wanted to give back to the community that we grew up in,” Bill Albright said.
