THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS
SERVICE PROJECTS
For the next five weeks, students in grades K - 8 will be asked to collect items for those in need as a Thanksgiving/Christmas Project:
6th, 3rd, and Kindergarten students will be collecting items for the elderly at Holy Family Plaza and St. Martin Plaza. Holy Family and St. Martin's are asking for gift cards, candies, Chapstick, socks, lotions, hand sanitizers, or anything kind of small “stocking stuffer”. Dollar stores or the individual-sized items at Target or Walmart would be good, as well.
7th, 4th, and 1st Grade students will be collecting items for the men and women served by Christ in the City. Christ in the City is asking for adult-sized wool socks (huge priority), hand warmers/foot warmers (top priority), gloves, scarves, beanies, new underwear, and Waterproof boots.
8th, 5th, and 2nd Grade students will be collecting items for new mothers and children served by Fr. Woody’s Haven of Hope. Fr. Woody’s is asking for new, unopened toys or children’s games and diapers.
Collection bins and boxes are located at the top of the steps near Mrs. P.’s office and the conference room. Students are welcome to collect and donate to all organizations, not just their grade-specific ones. Every little bit helps.

7th Grade Gets Serious About Service
Thank you so much to all who donated to our two STM harvest days in October and November. The 7th grade took the food to the Food Bank of the Rockies on Friday, November 8. St. Thomas More Catholic School donated 1,038 pounds of food! This food will go to those who need it in 30 counties in Colorado and all of Wyoming. Thank you for your generosity.
The Seventh grade volunteered for the morning at the Food Bank of the Rockies. They were split into two groups. 7D prepared boxes for senior citizens that will provide 7,600 meals. 7T sorted donations into boxes to go to a variety of charities that will provide 5,400 meals. The staff at the Food Bank of the Rockies was quite impressed by our students commenting that they packed more food than most adult groups do in the same amount of time.
After the Food Bank, the students toured the Molly Brown House in the conclusion of their unit on A Night to Remember. For pics of our day, like St. Thomas More Catholic School on Facebook and/or check us out!
