Nativity Prep has started a small lunch club with some of our 7th-grade boys—in hopes to expand to more students soon! The club is all about skill-building, mentorship, and companionship, centered around refurbishing and building computers.

The goal is to create a pathway into technology, helping students develop hands-on skills that could spark a passion for tech in high school and beyond.

💻 How You Can Help: If you have any old computers, laptops, keyboards, or other unused tech lying around, we’d love to repurpose them! These donations will give our students the opportunity to learn, create, and innovate in a meaningful way.

Please call 585-271-1630 if you're able to donate.

Thank you for your support—every contribution makes a difference!
