SHOUT OUT for SVDP Serves
Our SVDP Serves liaisons and homerooms have had to be creative in providing service during this unusual time. Our 7th grade has written to 120 seniors in our parish talking about the school. They created cards for new baby baskets to support the women’s health organization Marisol, that they support this year; made rosaries to pray for expecting women, especially those facing social and financial challenges; filling stockings for children in Marisol homes, and more. Our 8th graders have been preparing the Thanksgiving boxes which will be delivered on Monday November 23 to families. Our young ones delivered a gift to our neighbors and we’ve received several thank yous from around the neighborhood. Service is a gift to others, but also very much a gift to us to be able to give. Thank you for your support of our service program.
Coming Soon: Online re-enrollment
We’ve been forced to catch up with the rest of the high tech world and will be moving to an online platform for re-enrollment. HOWEVER, in advance, we beg your patience. Because this is the first year of an online enrollment platform, a LOT of information will need to be input on the family side. You will see this in January, after Christmas break. The online FACTS platform will gather all of the same information that you needed to submit each year at re-registration, and it will likely treat you as a “new family” with regard to the amount of information that you would need to input. It will make your life better going forward, but it will be an effort this year!
