Dear Parents,

I hope you are having a great week!

This week in Religious Education we are asking parents to follow the at-home instructions for chapter 7 that can be found in the packets that was emailed to you after the “virtual” parent session this past Sunday. If you were not able to attend the meeting this past Sunday, please complete the make-up parent session by clicking the button below.

When your child finishes the online review, the ultimate goal is to send the results of the review to re@standrew.org. I find it best if you put your own email into the online form first and then forward the email that you will receive from Loyola Press to us at re@standrew.org. That way, you’ll know that the results was sent to us.

Every year in November, we try to do a service project to collect items to send care packages for members of the military and first responders. If these projects are done at this time, (right around  Veterans Day) the donated materials usually arrive by around Christmas. It is usually a great time to get a sign of appreciation for those serving us overseas!

We can't work on this service project together this year so there is no collection of items nor packing date. What we can do instead is offer you the information for your own household to make a care packet for Operation Gratitude. 

The invitation we have for you to do at home this weekend is to do a service project showing gratitude for those who serve us overseas and hear at home. There are lots of ways to serve from making a hand made item or card to donating extra Halloween candy. 

The website for how to engage in this service project is https://www.operationgratitude.com/ but the webpage has so many ways to get involved, it may be helpful to direct you to a few specific links. 

If you are interested in your child making something hand made click on the button below and follow the instructions. 

If you are interested in sending items to go in a care package, you'll need to register with them to get an address of where you can send a care package. Find out more by clicking the button below. 

What really makes the care packages special are notes from kids and families showing their appreciation. Find out where to send hand written notes. by clicking on the button below. 

There are even ways to donate used plush toys and beanie babies. These donations could help save a life overseas! Read more and find out how to donate by clicking on the button below.
