Dear Parents, from December 9th to December 13th, our school will be hosting our Holiday Food Drive.  We will be collecting canned goods and dry goods to donate to the St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry. Our food drive will help hungry families in our community.  Please give what you can. One grocery bag of food can provide as many as 11 meals. Every single donation helps, and together we hope our combined donations will make a real difference for those in need.  See links for a parent letter and a list of needed items.
**Annual Siena Stocking Project Dec 2nd – Dec 6th – SJS is collecting bags of Men’s and Women’s White Crew or Tube Socks for the Siena Stocking Project.  This is the 11th year for this collection.  These socks will be used to make Christmas presents for all the men and women staying at the Siena Francis House.  We take one sock and roll it into another and add a pair of gloves, toothbrush, toothpaste, hot chocolate packet, assorted candy, candy cane and tie it off with a scarf made by St. James Pack 380 Cub Scouts.   These socks will be given out on Christmas day to around 500 homeless staying at the shelter.  Please help us keep this tradition going by donating a bag of crew socks.  ~ Thank you, Urbanski Family
