The Great STEM Toy Giveaway
The Works has seven pallets of toys to give away to children ages 10 and under. The drive-through event will take place on Friday, 5/22, 4 - 7 pm in front of The Works buildings on 2nd Street. In partnership with toys for Tots and DOMI 7, our goal is to continue STEM learning at home. See flyer below for more details.
SPICE Update
Great news! St. Francis de Sales School has been approved as a Jon Peterson Scholarship provider. This is HUGE for our school. The attached press release tells all about it and how to find out more information.
Essential Workers Project
Student Council launched a project to support essential workers who continue to work to ensure we can have as normal a life as possible during the pandemic. Attached is an updated list by class of who you can support through letters, cards, and/or artwork. Remember, essential workers aren't just those you see...think of the janitors, food production workers and other folks who may be overlooked, but who are the backbone of many of these facilities.
Confessions Continue
Fr. Dave has resumed hearing confessions (See his video message about it here)! This week he has slots open on Saturday, 5/16, 11 am - 1 pm. Remember confessions are by appointment only and other guidelines are in place. Check out details about how we're making this happen, then sign up here or call Joanne at 740.345.9874 ext 258 to schedule.
