With Lent beginning tomorrow it is a time to Pray, Fast, and Give. As a 4th Grade community we will be taking on a project to focus on the giving piece. We will be creating Lunches of Love packets that St Vincent de Paul will use to give to those in need. The Lunches Of Love are gallon size bags that will be filled with non-perishable, individually packaged and shelf stable items. The items will include a protein, fruit cup, drink, snack and dessert. We would also like to include small toiletry items like a small bottle of hand-sanitizer, travel-size tissue/wipes, soap, shampoo, etc. We are asking family to sign up using the link below to donate what they can and send in the items with your 4th grade student. During school we will have the students assemble the Lunches of Love. Amy Morris will be heading up this activity so if you have any questions please send an email to Amy at amorris@st-johnschool.org
