Student Council Pie Baking for Thanksgiving

It's been a long standing tradition for the High School students to bake pies for the Loaves and Fishes Thanksgiving dinner. In the past, this was an initiative of our Key Club and then picked up by the Student Council. As result of COVID-19 protocol over the past two years we were only allowed to collect pie ingredients and donate them to the Salvation Army food pantry.

This year pie baking is back!!!

The Student Council will be collecting supplies to make pies for Holy Family's Thanksgiving dinner from Monday, November 7th through Friday, November 11th. The ingredients will be collected in the main lobby by the S Couch every day next week before school. Student Council will be making the pies after school on Monday, November 21st. Please help us to make someone’s Thanksgiving extra special.

Homeroom vs. Homeroom vs. Faculty and Staff

1 point = canned cherry, blueberry and apple pie filling
2 points = boxed or frozen pie crust
3 points = frozen deep dish crusts

The leading team after Wednesday will receive a treat! The winning homeroom at the end of the week will get donuts on Monday!
