Greetings!
Each year during Lent, the CJ community engages in a Lenten Mission Drive, focused on supporting causes designated by our founding orders, the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur and the Society of Mary. Contributions made during this year’s mission drive will go to the Sisters’ Clean Water Project and the Marianists’ Skills Training Programs in East Africa.
There are multiple ways for students to help these organizations. During lunches through Thursday, March 29, students are encouraged to participate in the quarter war. Students can add quarters to their grade’s tub to add points, or add other coins to other grades’ tubs to subtract points.
Additional ways for students to participate in the Lenten Mission Drive include on Friday, March 9 where students can participate in a $2 out of uniform day and after school, attend or play in the faculty/staff versus students kickball game at Roger Glass Stadium - Home of the CJ Eagles.
While students are encouraged to participate in fun activities and friendly competitions during this Lenten season, we are reminded that in the end, those who are in need the most are the true winners of this Lenten Mission Drive.
