Greetings!

The CJ community will participate in the school’s annual Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week from Monday, Nov. 13 through Monday, Nov. 20. This week serves as an opportunity to expand our community’s awareness about hunger and homelessness issues in our region, nation and world. The theme for this year’s week is SOUPer Challenge.

Students can participate by contributing items and funds that will be distributed to The Food Bank, St. Vincent de Paul and Catholic Relief Services — organizations that directly impact hunger and homelessness in our city and internationally. If each student brings in $3 and three items (can goods, toiletry items, and small warm weather items) during the week we will meet our school-wide goal and be awarded a day off school later in the year. Several items will be used for a CANstruction project that the school’s Civil Engineering and Architecture class is constructing. To help make the CANstruction project possible, we need can and box food items that are predominantly black, red, orange and yellow.

Thank you for supporting the CJ community during this week as we highlight faith, service, and justice as important factors in our ministry at CJ.
