We would love to have your help. If you would like to volunteer, please sign up here.

BOOK FAIR
Our "Feelin Groovy" Book Fair will begin on Friday, January 29th and run through Friday, February 5th.  We will be open from 7:30am - 3:30pm in the library each day, with the exception of February 5th, when we will be open until 12:30pm, because of early dismissal.  This book fair is a fundraiser for our library and would not be possible without our parent volunteers.  

We still have lots of shifts to fill and would love to have your help!    As a volunteer, you can sign up to help the little ones complete their wish   lists (Friday, the 29th), help with the cash registers (they are really very easy to learn and easy to use!), help during Open House and/or Grandparent's Day which will be very busy, and/or help set up or tear down the book fair.  

Please click here to sign-up  for a shift or two or  as many shifts as you want!  Thank you!

CATHOLIC CHARITIES HYGIENE KITS
SOS is a front-line program that addresses the immediate needs of the homeless population in Fort Worth. Clients live in places not meant for human habitation: in encampments, abandoned buildings, bridges, automobiles, and on the street. Catholic Charities Fort Worth partners with the local churches, police, universities, hospitals, non-profit agencies and others in order to meet the needs of these vulnerable clients. Hygiene Kits are one of the ways to help.

Our 7th graders, along with the SAS Student Council, are conducting a drive to collect items for the Hygiene Kits. The following items are being requested:

Full-Size Shampoo
Liquid Bath Soap 
Wash Cloth 
Q-Tips
Deodorant
Razor
Lotion
Full-Size Toothpaste
Toothbrush 
B ug Spray, Small Bottle
Chapstick

Please drop off items in the main hallway of the school by January 29th.

Again, thank you for your support of this very important service project.
