Pennies for Pies Collection
|
On behalf of the Guardian Angels’ St. Vincent de Paul Society, we want to thank all of the staff, parents and students who gave so generously to our annual Pennies for Pies Collection. Almost $900 was collected this year! We were able to purchase pies, bread and butter for 100 families. These items were distributed with a bag of food, that you also collected, at our Thanksgiving Pantry on Saturday, November 17th. The classroom with the most pennies collected, was Ms. Hammell’s class! They raised $117.84! The second place class was Ms. Myres’ 6th grade. They raised $104.72. Thank you to everyone for supporting this ministry.
