Hats & Gloves Campaign
November 6 - 22
Clear Water Academy is proud to support the New Hats and Gloves Campaign that Our Lady Queen of Peace Ranch is running.
We are especially delighted to support one of our Alumna, Meaghan Doherty (Class of 2007), who happens to be heading up this campaign.
Our Lady Queen of Peace Ranch hosts an annual Christmas Party for those in need. This magical day includes: pictures with Santa, a hot lunch, activities, a gift, and a trip to Gab's Place. Gab's Place offers gently used clothing items, and new winter clothing for these children in need. This year is the Ranch's 28th year of hosting this amazing event, and they are seeking assistance with the new Hats and Gloves Campaign. For more information on Our Lady Queen of Peace Ranch, click
HERE.
A donation box will be placed in each building at Clear Water Academy. We ask families for their assistance in promoting and supporting this apostolic campaign by bringing in new hats and gloves for children of all ages.
Feel free to tuck a little prayer/note in the item for the child that might receive it.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to
contact Mary Beth Manarey.
