Purchase Pavers for the Outdoor Lab

Lenten Diaper Drive
The 7th graders are preparing for the annual Lenten Diaper Drive which began on March 2, 2022. The students are promoting the diaper drive during car-line at drop-off and pickup through Lent. There will be collection bins near the classrooms and in the front lobby where your children can drop-off their diaper donations. Our goal this year is to collect and donate 22,000 diapers, which will help support all ministries within Catholic Charities with their diaper needs, including Marisol Family, Samaritan House Shelter, Early Childhood Education, and specifically those affected by the Marshall Fire. They are most in need of sizes 4, 5, and 6, but all sizes, including pull-ups, adults, and diaper wipes, will be accepted. Thank you for your continued generosity for those most in need in our community!
