Service Project: Our school will provide Christmas for a family from the giving tree. We will accept donations to provide for at least one, if not two families. This will be in place of the gift exchange within the classroom. There will be two ways to donate to this project:
Through Wednesday school mass offertory (Nov. 20 & Dec. 4)
