To help subsidize ongoing school expenses, we hold Book Fairs in the Fall
and Spring. Look for plenty of good reading materials and gifts.
Inkjet
Recycling Program
Our
school is asking for your support and participation in our fundraising
recycling program. It is estimated that over 1,000,000 empty inkjet cartridges
end up in our land fills every single day. The plastic used in a typical
cartridge is industrial-grade and takes at least 10 centuries to decompose.
If you use an inkjet printer at home or at work, please remember to place
your empty inkjet cartridge in a zip-lock bag to be turned in at our school.
With your help our school can generate the money that is very much needed.
Please encourage family, friends and neighbors to participate in our school
recycling program. A collection box may be found in the school hallway.
We
will also be collecting unwanted cell phones. Please place them in the
same box as the inkjet cartridges.
Aluminum
Can Recycling
SJS observes Earth Day with an aluminum can recycling contest held each
fall and spring.
Send
A Child To School
An ongoing project using Pennies from Heaven
& Making a World of Difference is
to support a student and pay for him to go to school during this coming
year. Our student's name is Omar Alexander Aveiar Lopez. When
Fr. Tom McCarthy visited El Salvador in the Winter of 2003, he promised
to find out how SJS could connect with a parish or some of the children.
As part of our awareness of the Corporal & Spiritual Works of Mercy,
the school has taken on this project.
Math-A-Thon
St. Jude's Hospital benefits as students sharpen
their math skills. Watch for details on how you can sponsor a student.
Read-A-Thon
Muscular Dystrophy Association benefits while
students show their love of reading. Watch
for details on how you can sponsor a student.
Sock, Glove, Mitten & Hat Tree
Our parish's annual Giving Tree that helps
needy families in Portage County at Christmastime is "transformed"
into our Socks, Gloves, Mittens, Scarves & Hat Tree. Area needy children
and adults receive much needed items through this Catholic Charities of
Portage County project.
