Saint Clement School Students Give the Gift of Reading
Saint Clement School students adopted St. Margaret of Scotland School for its annual Christmas Giving Project. Each student was asked to bring in their favorite book for a student at SMOS. They added a personal note and wrapped the books for a pre-Christmas delivery.
Saint Clement and SMOS 8th graders delivered the books to each classroom, along with classroom gift baskets for each teacher. The smiles they received in return were infectious. The 8th graders played basketball together and shared lunch, capping off a perfect day.
Thank you to Saint Clement School families for participating in the book drive and Saint Clement Parent Association leadership for managing all the shopping for the SMOS teacher baskets!
