Attention
Students & Parents!
Our
school nurse, Mrs. Petters, has a daughter-in-law who is
serving in Iraq. Her daughter-in-law expressed a
real need for toiletries where she is stationed. As
part of our call to be of service to others, we are having
a school-wide drive for toiletry products. Some
examples of what are needed are toilet paper or trial size
toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo and soap products.
Please place your toiletries in a bag marked 6A or 6B and
send them in by October 30th.
Your
generosity will make a great difference for the wonderful
men and women who are serving our country.
The
Service Club has been working many hours this year from volunteer clothing drives, to
prayer and listening, to speakers. We thank them and the
PTA officers who work with them for all their service to our
school and community.
Congratulations and
thank you to Claudia Cranmer and
Aimee Orgera for donating their hair to “Locks of Love.”
Claudia had ten inches cut and Aimee had nine inches cut by
Mrs. Julie Cranmer. Many people benefit from this program.
Ms. Sharon Goldie
thanks everyone who generously
donated bathing suits and towels for the underprivileged
children that she works with in the summertime. These
donations are true treasures to the children and provide the
opportunity for these children to swim at the summer camp.
Ms. Goldie would like you to know your generosity is greatly
appreciated, and Ms. Goldie will accept donations up to the
last day of school.
Thank you
to
all who participated in our clothing drive, working with
the entire parish. The Love to Service Club helped
collect and move 6,500 pounds of clothes. The clothes
were sorted and distributed to local centers and
abroad. Clothes that were too worn were recycled for
the fibers. The effort realized $850 for the St.
Vincent DePaul Society for their charitable work.
Thank you to
Denise Mulranen for coordinating the blood drive on
January 29. We collected 84 pints of blood; our quota
was 80! Great job and thank you to all who donated; we
had twenty-four first-time donors – a total of
ninety-four people who came to donate.
A
special thank you from Timmy O’S. of 5A. Timmy thanks all those
who helped with his Rosary collection for our troops.
He collected over 300 Rosaries. Special thanks, also,
to Mrs. Raspa who helped see that the troops received
them.
A
special thank you
to an anonymous donor who donated new glassware, ring stands, triple
balance beams with extra weights, graduated cylinders,
buret clamps and twenty new microscopes. We are
extremely grateful!
Congratulations and Thank you to O. and A.
Marchei who donated ten inches of their hair to “Locks
of Love.”
We want to thank the members of the Service Club; both second grade classes
made cards
for sick people in our parish community.
The Service Club, grades 5 to 8 are invited on March 12 after school for a small retreat
from 3:00 to
3:45pm.
Congratulations to all our new Fifth Grade altar servers (and one 7th Grade
altar server) who were installed on Sunday, February 24
at 9:00am Mass. This was the largest altar server class
in several years.
