Stuff the Bus Diaper Drive 2023
STM's annual Stuff the Bus diaper drive kicked off on Ash Wednesday and will run through Holy Week. Last week, STM collected 4515 diapers and $1,368 (equivalent to another 8,045 diapers). The classes that are currently leading are:
Preschool: Lions $50.73
K-2: Ms. Wink 2nd grade class - $100.98
3-5: Ms. Arrieta 4th grade class - $228.03
6-8: Ms. Peel - 8th Grade - $166.47
Please keep the donations rolling in as part of your Lenten almsgiving, as we attempt to collect 110,000 diapers to support babies and families in need!
How You Can Help
- Drop off Diapers in the morning car line any day– BETA members will take them from you.
- Classrooms will have baby bottles available each day to collect change and small bills. The money will be donated to the Bottom-Line Diaper Bank. The classes that collect the most money over the course of the Diaper Drive in Preschool, K-2, 3-5, and 6-8 will win their choice of prize.
- Consider giving your children the opportunity to do extra chores to earn money to donate this Lent.
- Junior high students are encouraged to fast from a snack on Fridays and donate the money saved to the diaper drive.
- Share on STM Parent’s Facebook page when you find a great deal on diapers. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1621487617864931
- If you would like to donate by check, please make it out to STM Catholic with Diaper Drive in the memo line.
- Thanks for all your support!
