Be An Angel Campaign
During the season of Advent the Saint André Bessette School community will work together on the Be An Angel Christmas Campaign. The Be An Angel Campaign is the school Christmas drive to raise money for students in our school and our school community who need support at Christmas. This campaign will focus on Christmas gifts and/or food for our students and families in need. Students can donate $5 for two additional off uniform days: December 9th and December 16th. The donation can be made through School Cash Online. Payment must be made by Monday, December 8th at 11:59 p.m. if you would like to donate and be part of the dress down day option. Families and staff can make a donation using School Cash Online. The gospel of Matthew tells us that “Whatever you do for the least of my brothers and sisters, you do for me.” Please consider making a donation today.
