Boo Bash: Sunday, October 25th | |
Boo Bash
October 25th | 2pm - 5pm
After having to postpone Boo Bash due to Hurricane Isaias, we are ready for the big event this Sunday afternoon. Trunk-or-Treat will begin at 1:30 p.m. Bring your friends and join us for all the fun. It's not too late to purchase tickets, or to sign up to volunteer. Last year we were able to purchase 40 iPads and iPad cases with the funds raised from Boo Bash. This year we've raised our goal to $30,000 and plan to use the funds to refresh some of the aging equipment on our playground. We need your support to help us reach our goal!

Crazy Hair Day
Wednesday, October 21st
On Wednesday, October 21st we will take part in raising money for St. Jude Children's Hospital with our annual Crazy Hair Day. Donate $2 and come to school with your CRAZIEST HAIR! Corpus Christi School has participated in this fundraiser for St. Jude for many years in memory of former CCS student, Andre Colletti, who lost his battle with leukemia in 2012. Mrs. Piccici's son, Jake, was best friends with Andre and she helps to coordinate this fundraiser each year. If you've ever visited our gym, you'll have likely seen the photo of Andre on display along with his #34 jersey in the entryway.
All donations made to St. Jude for Crazy Hair Day are tax deductible. Checks are accepted. Please make check donations payable to St. Jude Children’s Hospital. St. Jude Children’s Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food. Andre received treatment for leukemia at St. Jude and we continue to honor his memory by participating in this fundraiser.

Bible Verse + Prayer for October
Each month our students learn a Bible verse. We also choose a prayer to focus on each month. We would love for you to practice the Bible verse and prayer with your children at home.
Hebrews 13:8
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
Hail, Holy Queen
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To you do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us, and after this exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O, sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.

This year he challenges us to consider the fruitfulness of sharing our time, talent and treasure with Corpus Christi Parish.
