Help Wanted for the School Supplies Drive

Faith in Action

“We are the hands and feet of Christ”

2^nd Grade

School Supplies Drive

September 9-13

The Faith in Action program at Blessed Pope John XXIII is designed to teach students, as they grow, how to be good stewards of all the gifts God has given them.  This is done by:

1)     Helping students see that God has given them many blessings

2)    Teach a gratefulness to God for those blessings

3)    Show that stewardship is a way of life

In age appropriate ways, through different categories of service, each grade level learns about a different need in our community.  Coordinating with Administration and Faculty, parent volunteers are called upon to help set up service projects for the students throughout the year.

This year, your project is “School Supplies Drive”

Within our community and throughout the valley, there are families who are unable to provide what a child needs just to get through a day of school.  There are schools within our diocese which also often fall short on their supplies as well.  That is where our wonderful 2^nd grade comes in…they step in to BE the hands and feet of Christ!!

This is a GRADE wide project which is facilitated as a WHOLE 2nd grade

Volunteer Parent Opportunity

Throughout this week, your children will be preparing signs and posters as well as ways to reach out to our students and community to make them aware and remind them of their drive next week.

The children will be allowed, under parent supervision, to be curbside with posters and to collect school supplies from our community.

We will need:

*1 parent volunteer to send out a sign up genius to ALL 2^nd grade

*4-6 parent volunteers to be curbside or in the courtyard next week each day from 7:30-8:00 to supervise

*ONLY children whose parents are volunteering will be allowed grace should they run a couple of minutes late getting back into class in the morning of their shift

ONLY the children whose parents sign up for curbside will be allowed outside the gate.  All children are welcome in the courtyard to hold signs and collect

We thank you in advance for your support of our program.  We cannot do it without you and we are so appreciative!!
