When you
can get a group of frenetic teens to channel that energy into a service
project, you know you’re doing something right.
Right
now students and teachers are collecting canned goods in a Husky versus Cougar fan
competition, an all-school Apple Cup battle that helps ensure the cup runneth
over at the food banks.
There’s
also a giving tree at the school and it looks like everyone on the tree will
have a Merry Christmas.
As we
prepare for the birth of our Lord, the class came together a few weeks ago to
create special fleece blankets for expectant mothers and their newborn babies. In all, the group of young people made 25
blankets for Pregnancy Aid.
“It’s very easy to do and it’s fairly inexpensive,” Candyce said, adding the parish community donated fleece for the project thanks to a note in the bulletin.

Her classmate Logan Eugenio said
the best part was taking the pictures after all the work was done.
“We all were in a hyper mood after
finishing the project in a single day and decided we had to pose for a picture
wrapped in the blankets,” Logan added.
If that
wasn’t enough, the IC-OLPH School Show Choir made up of 7th and 8th
graders dropped by Charles Gipson Senior Center and Everett Plaza Assisted
Living Center this week to share the festive music of the season with residents
there.
Music
Teacher Mary Chris Goldstein wanted the Show Choir to do a service project and
performed a half hour of music with all sorts of special songs for residents of
these communities.
Our parish
school is alive with Good Works this holiday season and year round. The kids are living out Catholic Social
Teaching in beautiful and meaningful ways.
