FROM THE CCS OUTREACH CORNER

Reminder  This year First Grade is raising money for Amigos de Jesus. This is a group based in Hatboro that has a home and school in Honduras for abandoned, impoverished and abused children.  The organization was founded in 1997 by a Christine and Anthony Grenase along with Fr. Dennis O’Donnell.  The money collected will be given to the organization to purchase much needed supplies for the children.
 
The children will be doing chores at home to earn money.  In doing this, we are teaching the children to be actively involved in charity work. We will have a display in the hallway so the children can see the efforts of their work. 
 
If you would like to learn more about this great organization, you can visit www.amigosdejesus.org.  They have a link to an Amazon wish list on the site if you wish to join us in our mission.
