Wish List

In response to inquiries from parents and alumni, who have expressed an interest in making donations to the school, we will use this area to post a list of new/used equipment that the school is interested in acquiring, as well as specific talents that could benefit the children of St. Matthias School. Please call the school office at 718 381-8003, to discuss offerings of donated services and equipment. Some items, depending on their specifications, may be declined as they are not compatible with the school's existing equipment or pose maintenance difficulties.

Through generous contributions of time, talents, and equipment by faculty, parents, alumni, and other benefactors, the school continues to offer the excellent level of education that it has come to be known for, which is evident in the strong academic performance by its students. The success of St. Matthias school in fulfilling its mission benefits the community of Ridgewood, and contributes to the neighborhood's stability, growth, and cultural diversity. We appreciate each donation as a gift from the heart! Thank you.
