The Peanut Butter and Jelly Challenge is all about kids helping kids. It encourages elementary and middle school students to collect peanut butter and jelly during the month of October. St Patrick's won for the most pounds collected per student. Congratulations St Pats!!! We got 60 seats for the game and 10 lucky students got to be on the court at halftime with their winning banner!!
Jump Rope and Hoops For Heart: (from Mrs. Wales)
These special events will be held during our Catholic Schools Week celebration on Tuesday, January 31, 2012. A collection envelope for each student was sent home today. Please consider requesting donations to help the American Heart Association's efforts to keep hearts healthy! Your child can, with your permission and help, set up their own website for online donations from family and friends who are out of town. Instructions are on their collection envelope. Any checks need to be made out to the American Heart Association. Envelopes are due by Tuesday, January 24, 2012. Check out resources on our school website under my name!
