Toil for Joy - Elementary 4-6 Campus

Thanksgiving reminds us to be grateful for so many things. The OCES 4-6 Campus classes counted their blessings on “Letters of Appreciation” display in the main hallway. Many wonderful unique blessings were mentioned such as “the smell of my granddad,” the laughter of those I love,” and “the gift of my Catholic education.”

These gifts of gratitude can be expressed through our acts of good deeds for our Elementary 4-6 Campus Advent Project. We are collecting hats, gloves, and scarves for the Pitino Shelter. We are wanting the children to “Toil for Joy” in this venture. In other words instead of parents purchasing these, the children do a good deed such as raking leaves, babysitting, or cleaning to earn the money that would be spent on the hats, gloves, and scarves.

Keys will be available in the classrooms to be filled out when your child “earns” this joy that will be given. Please help your child “TOIL FOR JOY” during this giving season.
