Will you be the first to adopt a classroom?
Delone Catholic is calling students and alumni who
have fond memories of a certain classroom or a certain teacher to help our current teachers
once a week to clean their classroom. Our teachers would appreciate your help so that they
can devote their time to lesson planning especially with the new technology that is available.
Students, if you are interested, Works of Mercy hours can be earned.
If alumni, you would have
our deepest thanks.
Please contact Dr. Thiec so that information can be shared with the faculty
member and a time can be coordinated.
Thank you in advance for your helpful hands!
