THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE

NOVEMBER 7TH - 16TH

St. Patrick has kicked off our annual Thanksgiving Food Drive! Over the years, our local food pantries have really come to rely on the support of the St. Patrick community, so we hope you will be generous once again this year.

The students’ efforts will become evident as we stack the crates of collected food in our cafeteria. The food drive collection will begin on Monday, November 7th and continue through Wednesday, November 16th . Of course our main focus is on feeding the hungry, but we thought a school incentive would make the challenge fun. Students will be challenged with an all school goal of 5,000 points to earn a “movie day” for all, and the homeroom at each level (K-2, 3-5, and 6-8) that averages the most points per student will also earn an ice cream treat and an extra recess.

     Below is a list of suggested food pantry items; however, the food pantries appreciate any items you choose to donate. Items marked with an “*” are worth 2 points!

 Peanut Butter*

Jelly*

Pancake Mix*

Pancake syrup*

Cereal/Oatmeal*

Spaghetti and other noodles*

Spaghetti sauce*

Boxed meals (i.e. Hamburger Helper)*

Rice*

Mayonnaise*

Pickles*

Tuna

Soups/Chili

Mac & Cheese

Canned fruits and vegetables

Ketchup/Mustard/Salad dressings

Look for more information to come

Donations of clean, undamaged, plastic grocery bags would be appreciated for use in making sleeping mats for the homeless.

Students may bring them in and drop them in the designated bin outside of Mrs. Gould's office. This will be an ongoing project, so bags will be accepted throughout the school year.

Mrs. Margie has already completed 3 mats for individuals in our community. We would like to commend her for her work for the less fortunate.

If you have any questions or would be interested in learning how to make a mat also, please reach out to Margie at margie@stpatsch.org

Please remember to label your child(ren)'s clothes, especially their sweatshirts. There have already been multiple items that have made their way to lost and found that have not been labeled. It is much easier to get them to their rightful owner if they are labeled. Thank you!

All unlabeled St. Patrick items that were not claimed at Parent- Teacher Conferences have been washed and placed in the buckets out front of the office.

Any non-St. Patrick items that were not claimed at Parent-Teacher Conferences have been donated to Goodwill.

PLEASE LABEL YOUR CHILD(REN)'S CLOTHING!

The Clover Pass is a parking pass that allows an individual to pull into the parking spaces next to the school office before 3:00pm and pick their child(ren) up and leave the parking lot immediately.
