Thanksgiving Collection Next Week at Elementary 4-6 Campus

On Thursday, November17, the school will celebrate its Thanksgiving Liturgy. As part of the presentation of gifts, we would like each student to come forth with a canned good or personal care item, reaffirming his/her resolve to share with those in need.

May we encourage you to find a way to have your child "earn" the item he/she brings as offering. Sometimes we make it too easy for our children - just looking in the cupboard and taking a item does not always impress upon them the difficulty and hardship endured by much of the world (and our local community) in putting food on the table. Insisting that they perform some chore, or act of charity, may help to make this a reality in their lives. Can you imagine your child helping rake the yard in return for the item he/she will offer at the liturgy?

Students may bring their items to school between Monday, November 14, and Thursday, November 17 .
May the Lord continue to bless you for your generous spirit toward the poor and needy.
