NDAA Schools continue to provide a holistic education during difficult times
The Notre Dame Ace Academies continue to provide students a quality catholic education during the situation created by the COVID-19 outbreak. Teachers and administrators are using creative and new ways to educate and support students while homebound instruction is necessary. Schools are also helping families to meet their basic needs during these challenging times. The Social Emotional Learning taking place at our NDAA schools, thanks to a generous donor, will help students process and strive during the current challenges. Our Schools provide students with a sense of normalcy that is so greatly needed in this unprecedented time.
In order to ensure the positive impact of our schools, we need your support of IQE donations now more than ever. Without IQE funding we would not be able to serve so much of the population and provide an education that helps them grow. In addition to supporting NDAA students, Indiana donors receive a state tax credit of 50% of their donation amount. Any support you can give to IQE to help our students and families in need is greatly appreciated. More information and donations can be made at www.i4qed.org/sgo/donors
