FROM THE OFFICE / SCHOOL
School Supply Drive - NEW
Each month of this school year and next, our school will be focusing on a Corporal and Spiritual Work of Mercy and a Catholic Social Teaching Theme. This month, our focus is on feeding the hungry and sharing knowledge and the life and dignity of the human person . Therefore, grade 5 is holding a school supply drive to collect school supplies for Cleveland schools in need.
Items do not necessarily need to be purchased. We will be accepting donations of both new and gently-used items that are still in good condition. Some gently-used items that will be accepted are pens/pencils, pencil pouches, backpacks, scissors, etc. We would really appreciate any contributions you could make to this cause! Please bring any donations to room 211 (Miss O'Neill's classroom). We will be gathering the supplies and distributing them in the beginning of March. Thank you for your kindness and generosity!

The “Boxes of Hope” full of donations are given to families that are leaving the shelter as support while they start over in their new residence. This can be as grand or as small of a project as your girls would like to make it. Let them discuss and decide with your help! It is SO easy to make a positive difference in someone’s life! All we need to do is….
1. Have the girls wrap each box in plain paper (top and bottom separately so the box can be filled and then covered). Decorate as many boxes as the girls would like with messages of hope, love, and any other positive message or artwork that your girls would like to share (no names on the boxes please).
2. Collect donations from the wish list below and fill your decorated boxes.
3. Contact Project Hope and arrange a drop off time (if you would like to take your girls, they will receive a wonderful “THANK YOU” and a free tour of the shelter if you would like), OR
