Service Opportunities

- 8th Graders can earn one hour of community service by volunteering at PADS. Every Monday evening in March the PADS shelter (in the lower level of the church directly accross from DG Library) needs help prepping 90 lunches for the following day. It's simple, it is a great service to the homeless in our community and can be done with their friends if they sign up together. Contact our Youth Minister Marta Spiezio speez222@yahoo.com with the dates your student would be available to help.

Service hours can also be earned by baking three dozen cookies, brownies or treats that can be dropped off at the PADS shelter between 4:45pm and 6:30pm on any of the nights. Contact the cooridnators of the night your student would be available to bake.

- 8th Graders can also earn 30 minutes of service to St. Joseph's by helping after Masses the weekend of Feb. 23rd - 24th. Carson's is offering their Spring Community Day this coming March 1st. The students will be selling coupon books after masses for $5 each. These books offer deep discounts if you shop at Carson's on March 1st and the entire $5 charge goes to St. Joseph School!

This is a great way to shop for spring and summer clothes, Easter outfits, Graduation clothes for the whole family, 1st Communion suits and dresses, etc. Some discounts are even good on sale merchandise.

We will need 2-5 students and 1-2 parents at each Mass.

There will be sign-up sheets in the classrooms next week for the students. If you decide to help out as well, be sure and have your child place their name, and your name, on the classroom sign-up sheet.

Thanks for all your help!!!

The Fab Four

P.S. - The kids had a great time on Valnetine's Day . . . and boy have we got some great dancers in this class! The students all looked so wonderful and handled themselves beautifully through a very busy but fun-filled day. You should be very proud of all of them!
