FROM THE CCS OUTREACH CORNER

NEW In November, the Pre-K children show their gratitude by giving to others. The Pre-K families contribute food items each week in November to support Manna on Main Street in Lansdale to help many local families. This year, Manna is in need of canned fruit, canned potatoes or yams, packages of mashed potatoes, spices, canned mushrooms, canned olives, foil, plastic wrap or Ziploc bags. If you would like to help us out, collection boxes will be outside of our classoom under our traditional Pre-K Family Turkey. There is also a school wide canned collection on 11/19. The Pre-K will also sponsor a Dress Down Day on November 26 to further support local families and Manna on Main Street. We are so thankful!

NEW Our Annual Thanksgiving Meal Deal is underway. The Sisters of St. Joseph Welcome Center is asking for our support to provide families with gift cards this year for their holiday meal. Please consider contributing. Additional information on how you can help can be found here.
