We continue our stewardship through the Rice Bowls campaign from Catholic Relief Services as a way to encounter Jesus through others, especially through the most vulnerable in our world. Each week, the brochure that comes with the Rice Bowl offers suggestions for your family to become more connected with people in other parts of the world. Don't miss this opportunity to grow as a family while helping other people. If your Rice Bowl didn't make it home, there are still some available at the front office. You may bring your donations in during Holy Week. Please count up all of your change and paper contributions and make a check out to St. John Bosco Catholic School, with Rice Bowl in the memo line. Wednesday this week is PreK - 4 Science Fair, an opportunity for the younger students to showcase some of the recent work in their classrooms. Additionally, PTO has invited representatives from different organizations to visit that evening to share Summer Opportunities.
