Teens for Jeans
Teens for Jeans is a project sponsored by Aeropostale
and other organizations to collect jeans for local
homeless shelters. For this project we are asking for
USED jeans in any and every size. Please remember that
this is a collection for JEANS only. The school that
brings in the most jeans can help their school win $5000
and new AERO jeans for all students. This fundraiser
began January 16 and ends February 12th. If
you want to learn more about it, visit teensforjeans.com
and watch the video. Please send all used jeans to 8B
or to the school office.

Bags of Bounty
This year, our PreK-5th grade Thanksgiving Project is
called “Bags of Bounty.” Each student should bring in a
paper bag full of nonperishable Thanksgiving foods and
an envelope of money for a turkey. The food items
include canned corn, canned peas, instant mashed
potatoes, canned cranberries/sauce, boxed stuffing mix,
canned yams/sweet potatoes, holiday cookies, and candy.
Our goal is for each class to have 100% participation.
Thank you!
Funds for Feast
This year,
our 6th-8th grade’s Thanksgiving
Project is called “Funds for a Feast.” Each student will
receive a bag, which they will fill with money that they
have earned over the course of these few weeks. The bags
should be returned by November 16th. The grade that wins
(6th, 7th, or 8th) will receive an ice cream treat. The
funds will go towards the turkeys for the St. Vincent de
Paul Thanksgiving baskets. Thank you!
Dollars for Scholars
Our next
Dollars for Scholars Collection will be on November 10.
So far, Pride has raised $314.86, and Spirit has raised
$199.94. Our total is $614.80. That’s fantastic! Please
bring in your money and help us reach our goal!
