Merciful H.E.L.P. Center Thanksgiving Basket Drive

Thanksgiving Basket Drive needs school parents!!

The Merciful Help Center's Thanksgiving Basket Drive is in full swing and we would love for you and your family to get involved. There are several ways to help:

To volunteer, go to  www.MercifulHelpCenter.org  and click Volunteer. Look for the annual opportunity section with the turkey logo and click on the link. If you are accessing it from your cell phone, click on this link:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090c4eafad2da5f94-ourlady

During this time, students will be moving the food for the Thanksgiving Baskets from the Merciful Help Center to the Parish Hall in wagons.  We need school parents to volunteer to assure that they are safe as they cross the street from MHC to the school and that they move safely into the Parish Hall.  We also have great opportunities for students and parents to work together. Whether you help collect and sort food over the next two weekends or sign up to assemble baskets on November 15 or deliver baskets on November 16, these opportunities are great ways to teach students to be grateful for our many blessings. To volunteer, go to  www.MercifulHelpCenter.org  and click Volunteer. Look for the annual opportunity section with the turkey logo and click on the link. If you are accessing it from your cell phone, click on this link:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090c4eafad2da5f94-ourlady

Our next Spirit Day dining fundraiser is coming up in 2 weeks!!

Tuesday, Nov 12

We invite you to join us at Blaze Pizza for our Spirit Day on Tuesday, November 12th in support of our school. Come out and enjoy pizza that's built on their made-from-scratch dough. You pick what goes on the pizza, it gets fast fire'd, then it's ready to eat! 

Blaze will generously donate 20% of the total sales to our school. You  MUST  present the flyer either on paper or your phone. Thank you for your support of this fundraiser. We appreciate everything you do to make OLMC a fantastic school for our kids!

Book Bill Payments:

The second half of the book bill payment is not due this year until Nov 30.  Historically, it has been due the day of Parent/Teacher conferences. This date was changed to Nov. 30 last year.

Of course, we will always accept payments early. Please check your records to check the balance of what your family owes toward your Book Bill Payment. 

Coat Drive Donations & Help:

There is a box in the school atrium for new & gently used clean coats. As you are preparing for coat season, please donate coats that no longer fit your family or keep your eye out for great deals while coat shopping! All sizes from infant to Men's XXXL are needed!

The Merciful H.E.L.P. Center works in conjunction with Hamilton County's Coats for Kids to distribute warm coats to many families in need during the winter months.

They are also in need of leadership in the coat area. We need a leader to handle coat collections in the school and in the church. (This could be a high schooler looking to gain experience leading.) Fran Pawlowski is willing to train who ever helps in this area.

We also need people to run coat donations over to our partners at Hamilton County Kids Coats to get them ready for giveaways at the HCKC giveaways, at the Merciful HELP Center and at Tools for School.

Most importantly we need workers to set up the coat giveaway at the MHC, work on the various days and to help break it down.

If this work is on your heart, please sign up! If you want to lead, please email [email protected] !
