Feed My Starving Children - More Info
As you read in the last post, the 8th Graders can participate in a service project "Feed My Starving Children" on Tuesday November 10, 2009. The hours of commitment, including travel time to Aurora, is from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
At this time we are still working out the transportation details, but we are anticipating that we will need parents to volunteer to drive. We wanted to mention this since this is also the day of Parent-Teacher conferences at SJS so please schedule accordingly if you are also willing to help transport the 8th Graders to Aurora on November 10. Thank you!
