Catholic School In South Jersey Raises $250K To Stay Open 

BURLINGTON, NJ (CBS) -- St. Paul's School in Burlington County was faced with the challenge of raising $250,000 in less than two months, or close its doors.

Parents and other supporters from the community went all out to make sure that didn't happen.

Heather Bartram says, "We just said, 'we are going to do it. Don't stop believing and it's going to happen.'"

And today Principal William Robbins confirmed to Eyewitness News they officially reached their goal of $250,000 and will be open for the next school year.

He says now their focus is registration during Catholic Schools Week, which is the last week of January.
