Operation Santa Claus
Wrapping Party - December 13 - Students may wear their operation Santa Claus shirts over their uniform on Wednesday.
Operation Santa Claus
Operation Santa Claus (OSC) is a program in which Cardinal O'Hara students "adopt", shop, wrap, and deliver toys to families in need throughout the Philadelphia area during Christmas. Last year, our students fulfilled the Christmas wish lists of over 450 children in need. We are in need of donated supplies of wrapping paper, bows, labels, tape, gift bags, scissors etc. to help wrap the many gifts for distribution for Christmas. All donations are greatly appreciated and can be dropped in the Main Office at O'Hara anytime between now and Tuesday, December 12.
Parents: Anyone wishing to help with the Wrapping Party is asked to sign up here. The students and teachers work very hard to make this a wonderful experience for all!!
O'Hara Family Christmas
Come Celebrate
O'Hara Family Christmas: Sunday, December 17 @ 5:00 pm
Join your O'Hara family for our annual Christmas celebration! Alumni, students, families and friends are invited for Mass, a celebration with Santa and Christmas carols. We are excited to have our choir, band and cheerleaders perform out front on Mark Cordes Way after Mass. And our Alumni Association will graciously be offering pizza for a light supper. Our Lion Ambassadors will once again provide crafts for little ones as they wait for their visit with Santa. No holiday season is complete without the annual "O'Hara Family Christmas!"
This year, we are asking our guests to help us make Christmas brighter for some children as part of our Operation Santa Claus initiative. Choose a gift from the following list and bring it with you wrapped and labeled to be placed under the trees for these children: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0c4ba9a72ba1f85-operation. We will be distributing the gifts to parents of these children just before Christmas.
