Service Day
Students participated in a collection to help with the "Lantern Lights"
Program in the New Orleans area. The program is sponsored by
the Sisters of the Presentation, who staffed our school for many
years. Sr. Beth, a former music teacher here is a part of the
program. Students will also decorate gift bags for the Sisters
to use as they distribute items to the needy in their area. We
asked each student to make a $1 donation that will be sent to
the Sisters.
