High School Scholarship Winners
We could not be more proud of these high school scholarship winners. Best of luck at Duchesne (Ella, Grace), Mercy (Josette), and Roncalli (Mia) next year.
Second Grade Service Project
In the country of Cameroon, Africa, children are unable to attend school if they do not have a pen.
During this Lenten season, we are collecting pens to donate to children in Cameroon.
As the second graders discovered: "One pen can send one child to school. Five pens can send five children to school. One hundred pens can send ONE HUNDRED children to school!"
Pens can be any color and any brand, new or gently used. Please drop them off at Room 207 or 208 or hang onto them and we will collect from classrooms on a regular basis until our deadline of March 15th.
