Adopt a Family This Christmas
Dear Saint Rose Families,In the spirit of holiday giving, Student Council hasdecided to organize an Adopt-a-Family program forthe third year. We have found five families that live inthe local community that need our help.Please think about whether or not your family wouldlike to participate in this service project. Each gradelevel (PreK-2, 3-5, and 6-8) will receive at least onefamily in need. Student Council will be collectingmonetary donations from each of these grade levels
from November 29th - December 10th. Once alldonations are collected, Student Council will purchaseitems on each of the family’s wish lists. Please talk with your child about ways that he or shecan actively give something. We want this project to bemeaningful for the entire family. You might considerhaving your child do extra jobs to earn money todonate a gift or having them use some of theirallowance money. Please work out a plan that is rightfor your family. We think this will be a wonderfulservice project if we share a little of what we have withothers who are in need and put our school missioninto action.
Thank you!Student Council 2021 Members (Note: Project is not
required.)

All I need from youis to send your student with a sweater that can be glued,dazzled, glittered, and remodeled into their own creation.Please bring sweaters in by tomorrow. IT WILL NOTBE RETURNED to you as a “regular” piece of clothingwhen we have completed this project! The rest of the schoolwill vote on the ugliest sweater and a prize (or two) willthen be awarded.If you are looking to rid your family of Christmas items thatcould be used for the Ugly Sweater Contest, please feel freeto send the stuff my way! Many thanks for your assistancewith this project! I can hardly wait to see what your kiddos
create!
