GoodSearch.com is a charity search engine. It uses Yahoo search for it's results. Please consider using it for all your searches.
Each time you search the school will earn money. They pay about 1 cent for each valid search. It doesn't sound like much but
if every family uses it for just 4 searches each day the school could earn $3000.00. So please use it and get your friends to use it.
And have your kids start their homework searchs there. Just make sure our name is in the second box that's titled "Who do you GoodSearch for"

What is Altoona Central Catholic
School?
Altoona Central Catholic School provides Catholic
education to residents of the Altoona area at an elementary school
site and a middle school. The school builds on the exceptional
traditions of nine elementary schools that were an integral part of
Altoona's early Roman Catholic history.
The railroad town of great ethnic diversity gave rise to
many ethnic churches, each with their own schools. For decades, these
schools were staffed primarily by several religious orders of sisters.
But as demographics changed and the number of religious diminished, the
nature of the these parish schools had to change.
Altoona Central Catholic was a response to those
changing circumstances. This new model for Catholic Schools in the
Altoona area has met with great success, among other things,
establishing the first middle school in the
diocese.
