Happy New Year St. Catherine Family! With each new year we make resolutions to improve ourselves. Let's start off 2019 by helping the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society raise money to support their mission. Spread God's Word by your actions!
A note from the CRE: Pasta for Pennies Starts Next Week!
Starting next week, St Catherine of Siena School will be taking part in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Pasta for Pennies. Pasta for Pennies will run
Jan 16 - 25.
During this program, students will collect funds to support LLS’s mission: cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma and improve the quality of life for patients and their families.
How we can help:
Our support will be helping to fund cancer research, patient support, and advocacy. Here’s how we will help:
1.
Students will be given their own personal collection box to collect donations from family members and friends.
3.
Students can also do service activities at home too (start a lemonade stand or do extra chores around the house for donations).
4.
There will be classroom competitions with rewards for the homerooms with the most donations.
5.
Dress down day on Friday January 25
th
with a $1 donation. (Wear

Our school goal:
Last year, St Catherine of Siena School was the 4
th
place fundraising school in the Mississippi/Louisiana Chapter, and we would love to be in the Top 10 this year too! We have set a school goal to raise
$9,000
. So, we would love to see each classroom set a personal goal to raise
$100, $200 or $300 to be a Bronze, Silver or Gold Champion.
We would love to see students set their own personal goal too. Any student that raises $5 (online or offline) will earn a cool
