Elementary K-3 Campus - Habitat for Humanity- Pails of Nails Project

Today we are sending home information with your child about a Service Project we are starting next week. See below for more information:

The 2012 Theme for Catholic Schools Week is Faith, Academics, and Service. For the Service Portion of CSW the K-3 Campus is going to sponsor a "Pails of Nails" Drive.

Owensboro Catholic High School will be sponsoring a house for Habitat for Humanity. The K-3 Campus can help too! Although our students may be too small to actually help "build" the house, we would like for the students to do things they CAN do around their own house to earn a little extra money. They can do good deeds or special chores- it is up to the parent.

Each time that your child does a deed or chore worthy of notice, it would be wonderful if you could "pay" your child for these good deeds. It doesn't have to be a lot. You can even give them your loose change!

At the end of Catholic Schools Week on February 2, all of the money collected will be given to Habitat for Humanity for the purchase of "Pails of Nails".

We believe as a Catholic school we should share our love, faith, time, and talents with the community. Catholic Schools Week is a perfect time to teach our children the importance of following the actions of Jesus, by sharing, caring, and helping others.

The Drive will last for TWO WEEKs. It will begin on Tuesday, JANUARY 17 and end on Tuesday, January 31. We will present our "gift" to Habitat for Humanity at our PEP Rally during Catholic Schools Week on February 2.
