Student
Council Raises Funds for Haiti Relief
3rd Grade
Service Project
Under the
leadership of Mrs. Snyder, the third grade class
selected to support the local Humane Society as their
service project for the year. The students provide
bins in each classroom on campus and asked for a variety
of donations for the animals that are in the shelter and
items for the resale store. With loaded bins, the
class took a trip to the Humane Society. In return
for their efforts, the students were given an
opportunity to spend some time with the cats and dogs.
It was a fun time for the students and the donations
were greatly appreciated by the Humane Society.
The
students' service is not over! They will continue
to support the local Humane Society so be on the look
out for their next drive.
Valentine's
Day Bingo
This "fun"
raising event was organized by the NDCS Development
Committee headed by Hunter Morris with the great support
of Annette Sudyka and Merrily White. The event was
highly successful with many winners, time spent as a whole
ND community and a profit of $940 to be used towards
development efforts. Thank you to everyone who
worked the Bingo floor especially Toni, Jimmy, and
Jency.
The
concession sales from the event will be used towards the
8th grade Graduation Dance which is hosted by the 7th
grade class. They raised $390 to give their 8th
grade friends the gift of a lovely dance to be held in
May.
Thank you
Notre Dame Parish and School Community for your
incredible support.
