HURRICANE MICHAEL RELIEF EFFORTS
Dear SMM Parents,
"We, though many, are one body in Christ." - Romans 12:5
In August we chose the above Bible verse as our inspiration and motivation for all we would do at SMM during the current school year. Little did we know that we would once again have to put our faith and convictions into action.
As you know, Hurricane Michael had a devastating impact on the people living in the Florida panhandle. Our hearts broke when we saw pictures of the aftermath of the hurricane. It brought back painful memories. But what do we do as the Christ-centered family that we are? We take care of our brothers and sisters in need.
The SMM Men's Club and our school community are coordinating a relief effort to help the people of Florida. A caravan of workers will leave on Friday, October 26 and return on Sunday, October 28. They will bring much needed supplies, and will cook and provide meals.
The PTO will continue to collect needed items in the morning car line. We are asking our SMM families to donate the following:
- buckets, bleach, rubber gloves, & other household cleaning supplies
- batteries, all sizes AAA through D
- paper products including plates, paper towels, napkins, toilet paper, & plastic utensils
- baby food, baby formula, & disposable diapers
- non-perishable food items & snack items
- pet food
- hygiene products for men & women
- new underwear, all sizes
- #10 cans of green beans, corn, and tomato sauce
Monetary donations for St. Dominic Church and St. John's School in Panama City will be accepted as well.
We ask that you be generous in your support of our relief efforts for the victims of Hurricane Michael. But for the grace of God (and a strong Northwest steering current), we could be in their shoes once again.
We thank you in advance for your generosity.
God bless our SMM families and friends,
- SMM Administration
