Caring Tree - Ready and waiting 

We are blessed to be in a Catholic school and to share our catholic values, beliefs and gifts. This Christmas season we want to reach out to members of the OLP School and sponsor a Caring Tree for our own families.

If you have experienced financial challenges, we want to assist you. This will be totally confidential and handled through the Principal, Miss Mary Beth Ek. No one other than the Principal will be made aware of any of the names of families and/or children. If you are a family in need, please contact Miss Ek via email at mbek@olpcrusaders.org or by sending a note into school in a sealed envelope with her name on it. We want to help you with the essentials this holiday season: a Christmas meal, clothing, coats, hats, scarves, etc. Please let us know the gender and ages of members of your family and items needed.

A tree will be placed in the main lobby of the school from Monday, November 18th through December 9th. The tree will be decorated with Doves which have the items that are needed by our families. Please take one of the Doves and purchase and return the wrapped items to Miss Ek's office by December 13th with the tag attached to the items.

Gifts will be distributed through the church office December 16th-20th   (in confidentiality). If you have any questions about being a recipient family, please contact Miss Ek.   If you have questions regarding purchasing gifts, please contact Michelle Bruschi email psu22michelle@aol.com or via cell phone 814-323-1779.

Erie Insurance is looking for 5 volunteers to help box up donated food items at the Second Harvest Food Bank, 1507 Grimm Drive, this Saturday, November 16, 2013, from 8:00 - noon. Volunteers will need to arrive 15 minutes early at 7:45a.m. and wear comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting dirty. Students will stock pallets to tables, make boxes, stack boxes, work on the line and move boxes to the breakdown area. Because this is such a long service activity that is more demanding than most, it will count for 2 service activities towards fulfilling your youth group requirement. Kathy Leone will chaperone. Kids need to sign up in Mrs. Ehrman's class and have registration forms turned into Joe Leone in 8A by this Friday, November 15, 2013. Every student MUST have a registration form turned in to attend. If you have any questions, please contact Kathy Leone at 504-2989 or at leoneer3@aol.com. There will be another chance to participate in this same service opportunity next Saturday, November 23, 2013. Signup sheets, registration forms & information will come next week. We will be looking for a chaperone for this date. If you can help, please contact Kathy. Thank you!
