Special Guests on Campus
|
The first grade and kindergarten classes had a special guest visitor last week. Everyone thought it was the Tooth Fairy but it was really just the Tooth Fairy's friend, Ms. Star Brusher! Ms. Star Brusher, a.k.a. Linda Levin, is a dental health educator from Dr. Francisco Arias' office who visited the classes to teach the children about dental health and the proper way to keep their mouth healthy, happy and clean!
The first grade classes also had the opportunity to visit with PFC Fred Blakeslee III. Mr. Blakeslee was home from Afghanistan for two weeks and came to the class to speak and show photos from Afghanistan. While he was deployed overseas, the first graders sent Mr. Blakeslee care packages and cards and they were so happy to see him when he visited.

St. Anastasia School Lenten Offerings
|
As part of the Lenten Season, St. Anastasia Catholic School is participating in two projects to help the needy. The first is the Catholic Relief Services' Operation Rice  Bowl that has already come home with your child. Operation Rice Bowl began in 1975 and offers Catholics in the U.S. a way to connect with our brothers and sisters around the world. Over the past 35 years, $191 million has been collected through this program to support CRS' development projects that improve people's ability to access food in communities around the world and the United States. Families may use this Rice Bowl to give sacrificial contributions as suggested in the daily reflections provided. Students should turn in the Rice Bowls to their teachers by March 31.
The second project is the Florida Catholic's Long-Sleeve Relief project to benefit Florida farmworkers from hazards such as exposure to weather, pesticides, thorns, snakes and bug bites. The St. Anastasia Girl Scouts are coordinating this Lenten project and will provide a collection box near the Lost & Found closet in the school's main building. The Long-Sleeve Relief and Food-Diaper-Personal Hygiene Drive will run during the Lenten season through March 31. Based on requests from agencies working for those living below the poverty line, the drive has been expanded to include short-sleeve cotton shirts, as well as nonperishable food, diaper and baby products and personal hygiene items. For a full list of items being collected, click here.
Thank you for your support and generosity.
