Advent Service Project
The students are doing a great job bringing in their money for Connie, a little girl in Mandeville, Jamaica. The student’s money will go towards Connie’s tuition to attend a Catholic school as well as money to cover her essential needs. Donations are tax deductible and checks may be made out to OCES 4-6 Campus. Next week is the final week to bring in money for our Advent Project. We appreciate your generosity to this worthy cause.
