Pass along your GENTLY USED BABY CLOTHES – If only they could still fit into all of those cute little outfits! If you’ve decided to pass along your outgrown baby items, know that they will be happily received by the babies of the Olancho maternity hospital. 😊 Any gently used baby clothes or receiving blankets will be put to good use by the moms and babies at the hospital serving the impoverished families on Olancho, Honduras. Your gently used baby clothes encourage moms and babies to get the medical care they need for a safe and healthy birth. Please bring your items to the front desk during the month of March. Thank you from the Faith Outreach Committee!
Stations of the Cross – As is tradition here at St. Chris, we will be holding the Stations of the Cross every Friday through Easter.

Hot Lunch Ordering – Hot Lunch ordering for April is no open! It will remain open through midnight on March 15 and no late orders can be accepted. Thank you!
Forgotten Lunches – Just a friendly reminder that students who forget their lunch receive a bagel and cream cheese, along with any available sides. To make it fair for everyone, there are no exceptions. Please do not count on your child receiving the Hot Lunch of the day as we only order the number of meals we need to accommodate those who order through Boonli. A $3.50 charge for the meal will be added to your Boonli account. This long-standing policy helps us to monitor inventory and keep our costs down. Thanks so much for your help with our Hot Lunch program!
NEXT WEEK! St. Patrick’s Day – We’ll be wearin’ the green on our St. Patrick’s Day Free Dress day NEXT Tuesday, March 17! Students should wear green and white!

If you are doing a little after-Christmas cleaning (or pre-Spring cleaning?), please keep the sale in mind! We accept donations of both children’s and adult’s book and media. All books and media are sold for 50¢ each and all students will visit the sale! Donations can be brought to the school after April vacation!
