Community Update:
This past week (11/24 - 11/30) we have had no new reportable positive Covid-19 cases within our school. However, we are seeing an increase in positive cases that we have not had to contact trace for. When you report your child absence due to illness, the office needs specific details reqarding symptoms.
Click here to review the Re-opening plan from the beginning of the year. We ask that if your child is not feeling well to please keep them home. If anyone in the household is being tested for COVID, please keep all children home from school. The front office is always willing to talk through scenarios with you since every family dynamic is unique. We appreciate everyone being patient and flexible as we continue to navigate each situation.

Sponsor an Entire Child or Angels for the 2022 Community Care Day
THE COMMUNITY OF ANDERSON IS STRUGGLING!
We will once again be going to St. Mary's and providing children the opportunity to come and collect the beautiful donations you give to keep them warm, clothed and fed! This will take place on
January 15. Please consider volunteering to help!
We are NOT going to let the pandemic get in the way of helping these children, and we found
a safe way to do it as a parish family! We elongated the hours and are only having 10 families in every 15 minutes.
By signing up below you will provide a child's most basic needs in the community of Anderson. You can sign up to sponsor an entire child, or sign up to sponsor specific things for a child by signing up for
angels. ANGELS ARE ON THE TREES THIS YEAR, and we encourage you to go look at the trees to find angels you would like to buy for in the OLMC Church Narthex!
If you sign up here, you can request the child sponsorship document and shop for all needs of children OR sponsor the food for a family, or sponsor an entire family! All options are available. The sign up will request your contact information. We will mail you all sponsorship form or forms. If you don’t want to go to the trees and select angels, we can to that for you and mail them to you if you request specific angels.
Please turn all of your donations into the MHC by Monday, December 13 at 5:00 p.m.
Would you rather sponsor a child financially and have us shop for you?
We are so happy to shop for you! Perhaps you would like to sponsor food for a family? No matter what you sign up for, we will mail you a sponsor letter! We are grateful for ANY help you are willing to give!
Donations can be sent to:
Merciful HELP Center 1045 West 146th Street, Suite A, Carmel IN 46032
Bless you for caring for these beautiful children of God!
