SMM SCHOOL "FRIENDS OF THE POOR WALK"
We are excited to announce our St. Margaret Mary School Friends of the Poor Walk and poster contest for grades K through 7. The actual walking will take place over the next week, from September 23rd through September 27th. The poster contest deadline has been extended to Wednesday, September 25th.
The Friends of the Poor Walk will directly help the poor within our Slidell community. The money we raise through pledges and completing the walk will go to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, which assists those living in poverty.
The theme of our poster contest is: "We Walk with Jesus and the Poor." Poster entries should reflect the theme. Cardstock will be provided in homeroom for uniformity of size. Pen, pencil, crayon, marker, and colored pencil may be used. Student's name and homeroom must be written on the back of the poster. Posters are now due no later than homeroom period the morning of Wednesday, September 25, 2019.
Class grouping for poster prizes will be K-1, 2-3, 4-5, and 6-7. Prizes (TCBY coupon) will be awarded for the top three entries within each group.
Homeroom teachers will distribute pledge sheets for the Friends of the Poor Walk. A minimum donation of $2 is suggested, though a pledge in any amount is welcome.
Please return pledge sheets and donations to homeroom, in a sealed envelope. Donations may be in cash or check made payable to St. Margaret Mary School/memo Friends of the Poor Walk. Pledge sheets and money are due to homeroom teachers no later than homeroom period the morning of Friday, September 27, 2019.
The walk will take place in P.E. class the week of September 23rd through 27th.
Thank you, everyone! And let's have a great Friends of the Poor Walk!
HEART TO HEART PROGRAM
Good news!
This year, we are continuing the "Heart-to-Heart" program as an opportunity for students to reach out, in love, to each other, their families, their community, and the world. If you recall, the program is simple: Each month has a special theme (for example: October is "Respect Life" month).
Through the goodness of their own hearts, students partake in some act of charity, as a sign of Christ's love (e.g. spiritually adopt an unborn baby and pray a Hail Mary for them, each night, for the month of October). This is a very personal program, and one which empowers the students in their Christian walk. As an outward expression of their charity, participating students will decorate and sign a special heart, which they will then bring to the first School Mass of each month.
For more information, and for all the forms (and heart cutouts), please check your e-mail this weekend for more information. Thank you, in advance, for your participation and support, and God bless to all!
In Christ,
Scott Osborn
Religious Activities Coordinator
P.S.: On the last page of the "Heart to Heart Program" handout, there is a page of heart cutouts. To convert the pdf to jpeg, so you can adjust the size of the heart, simply go to a website like: http://pdf2jpg.net/. If you would like a Word version of the handout, please let me know, and I'll be glad to send you one. God bless!
