Blanket Collection for Puerto Rico

/in /by

Saint James School is collecting new and gently worn blankets for families in Puerto Rico who are enduring devastating conditions from back-to-back natural disasters.

Through members of our school community that have friends and family on the island we have learned that blankets are in very short supply.  One of our SJS families will be shipping what we collect to Puerto Rico and ensuring that it reaches those in need.

Students may bring donations in to their homerooms between now and Friday, January 31st.

Thank you for any support you can provide.

Today, as part of Catholic Schools’ Week, our Kindergarten through grade 8 students attended Mass at Saint James Church to celebrate and honor the countless volunteers who dedicate their time and talents to our school.

While only a small percentage of volunteers were able to be with us in person today, Father Cavanaugh and Mrs. Zorger both took the opportunity to remind students about the value of giving back to the community.   We are very blessed at Saint James School to have so many volunteers that make a difference in the lives of our students and to our school community as a whole.
