St. Thomas Eastpointe Food Pantry
St. Thomas is asking for help with its food pantry. They are in need of non-perishable items such as instant potatoes, canned fruit, canned veggies but not mixed veggies as they have plenty of those), pasta, pasta sauce, and boxed cereals.
These items will be going in food baskets for Christmas. We need to get the items brought in no later than December 16th. Items can be turned in to the school or church office.
The returnables shed is full! Return cans to the store and bring the money to the school office. For every $25 returned, you get 1/2 hour towards your Christian service hours. The funds can be designated to wherever you would like. Here are a few ideas to put it towards... purchasing Operetta t-shirts and new basketball uniforms.
There will be NO practice on December 17th.
Wednesday, December 18th, at 7 PM. Students will meet in their classrooms at 6:15 p.m. for prayer and warm-up. Please watch for a Pass-a-note next week with more information.
Classroom parties will be held on December 20th. For volunteer opportunities, please contact your student's teacher or classroom mom.
December 20th is a half day of school with dismissal at 11:15 am.
Christmas Break begins on December 21st and runs through January 5th.
School Resumes @ 7:45 am Monday, January 6th.
If you have nice GROUP pictures from any of our events this year you can upload them so they can be put in our yearbook. Please don't upload pictures of just 1 or 2 students - we want everybody to make it into the yearbook! Sports, Rejoice Together Field trip, Apple Orchard, Harvest Party, Trunk or Treat, and anything else upcoming will make great pictures to remember this year.
