Thank You

Advent Service Project
This year the 4-6 Campus has chosen to raise money for a little girl in Mandeville, Jamaica. We hope to raise enough money to pay for her tuition to attend a Catholic school as well as money to cover her essential needs. If you are thinking of gifts for teachers and/or staff, they would appreciate a donation to this project as the gift.

Community Solutions
Community Solutions for Substance Abuse is working on strategies to prevent substance abuse with youth and families within Owensboro-Daviess County. One of the efforts has included developing and launching a new web-site developed by community partners in conjunction with Community Solutions. In order to help promote this web-site, bracelets were distributed on Wednesday of this week. The bracelets are to serve as a reminder to go to this web-site for any information that they need regarding substances. The goal is for this web-site is to be a comprehensive site for all ages and roles. For more information log onto their website.
