Be a Hunger Hero

Last year, as part of Catholic Schools Week, we partnered with Feeding Children Everywhere to package meals that went to local food banks and to Haiti. Together, our students helped package and provide 30,000 meals. I am pleased that we will be participating in this program again as a culmination to Catholic Schools Week, Friday, February 3, 2017.

Our mission collections for the month of January will go towards paying for the meal supplies. We are also asking students to bring in change, starting tomorrow, to fill jars in their classrooms. Because we love a little friendly competition, the homeroom that contributes the most change will get a special treat--which I will reveal at assembly next week (here is a hint, though: it involves duct tape).

This event was a huge success last year, as our students had the opportunity to provide "hands-on" service try packaging meals together for children and families who desperately need food.  From ages 4 to 14, our students were happy to be hunger heroes!

If you are interested in being a key volunteer and running one of our packaging assembly lines that day, please contact Mrs. Welsh in the Advancement Office at dwelsh@cks-school.org.
