2026 Paddle Raiser

Investing in the educators who form our students in wisdom, virtue, and truth

​

Every student at Our Lady Seat of Wisdom has been shaped by educators who teach, mentor, challenge, and model our Christian values in daily life. Their influence reaches far beyond the classroom, forming the minds and hearts of the young people entrusted to us.

​

This year’s Paddle Raiser supports the Chesterton Educators Fund—an investment in the exceptional teachers who bring the mission of Our Lady Seat of Wisdom to life. Their commitment and vocation ensure that our students are known, loved, and formed in truth.

​

Across the country, schools are facing rising costs, inflation, and a nationwide teacher shortage. The competition for outstanding educators has never been greater. To continue attracting and retaining the very best teachers—the ones who believe in our students and walk with them every day—we must keep faculty compensation competitive.

​

Your gift directly strengthens our ability to recruit, hire, and retain the educators who shape our students’ lives. When you raise your paddle, you are investing in the people who make our mission possible.
