Saint John XXIII Catholic School Pride!
Our Faith IN Action Project for January is a community wide
project that will serve children in Foster Care here in our Valley. We
are asking everyone here to make a no-sew fleece blanket. Many times,
children in foster care are removed from their home at a moments notice and can
only take what will fit in a small bag. These blankets are easy for these
children to take from p lace to place and serve as an item of comfort during
these tough transitions. Please see the Friday email and
your teacher pages for instructions and turn in your blanket during Catholic
Schools week at the end of the month. Thank you and God bless!!
Happy Wednesday!
