How You Can Help
How You Can Help
As we approach the Christmas season, let us give thanks for the many blessings to our school. At SBS, our children, teachers, parents, etc., do not give/exchange gifts. We share our gifts by having our school adopt homebound families of Saint Bernadette Church Parish. The number of needy families we can support depends on your generous contributions! The school faculty speaks with the families and purchases items needed. Usually, the families request help with their medicine or groceries. On the Santa's Secret Shop forms, you may choose to donate any surplus money to this program. You can also send monetary donations to the school (label the envelope Homebound Donation). Thank you in advance for your generosity! 🎄
Coats for Kids: Please check your closets and bring any unwanted coats, sweaters, sweatshirts, jackets, or blankets to donate for the Kiwanis Club Coats for Kids Drive. All items will be given to local children and families in need. Bring your donations to school and place them in the boxes near the office by Wednesday, December 10th. Thanks to your generosity, many will stay warm this winter!
Service Hour Opportunity: Service hour opportunities: If you would like to make service hours, please sign up to work the Refreshments table for the Live Nativity in Herbert Hall at this link.

Mass news:
We will celebrate Mass on Monday, December 8th, instead of Tuesday, in honor of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our Volunteers will graciously host the Mass. We are deeply grateful for the many ways our parents share their time and talents. Like Mary, they say “YES” to serving others, and we thank them for their faithful example and generous hearts. Join us in the cafeteria for coffee so we can enjoy time together and say thank you in person.
Looking ahead, our Mass on Tuesday, December 16th will be hosted by the 4-H Club, with recognition of the members to follow. We hope you can join us for this special and joyful celebration.
