The Immaculata Christmas Craft Fair is pairing with the Social Justice class this year in offering breakfast/snack items as well as lunch for the 75 plus vendors and the 100s of people who will be coming through the school on November 25 from 10pm to 3pm. The proceeds from the concession will assist our Social Justice class raise money for the variety of service projects students are involved with this year with the goal to increase awareness of the United Nations global goals for sustainable development.

We really appreciate all the families that have signed up already to volunteer to help or to bake items. We are now asking if some of our Immaculata families could please provide homemade soups, chilis, buns, and some other items to sell at our craft fair. These could be brought between 8-10am to the school in crockpots. Remember that this also counts towards your parent participation hours! We are looking for vegetarian/vegan options as well as meat. Volunteer opportunities for "Social Justice Lunch at the Craft Fair" are now open.

A BIG THANK YOU!

Thank you Mustangs for a successful winter clothing drive. The items donated were sorted and bagged for collection by grade 12 and 10 students. Hope Outreach will collect the items next week and put them to good use by getting the warm items to the people who need them the most as the weather turns to winter.
