For the past two years, St. Christopher's Advent Project has been to collect and deliver mittens (and hats and scarves) to children in need. We have delivered over 800 mittens, hats and scarves during these two years and divided them between P.S. 61 and our own food pantry. This year some of the teacher/parent discussion was aimed at helping out some of our needier inner city Catholic schools, so we chose Holy Angels as our mitten recipient. We delivered over 300 cold weather accessories to the school in December. Mr. Schurger, Mrs. Powell and our student council members made the trip with Mrs. Powell driving the St. Christopher van.

Mrs. Powell was obviously the photographer and she did a fine job capturing our kiddos doing what Jesus has taught us. I love when we practice the Beatitudes...not just memorize them! Well done St. Christopher Grade School and what better representatives could we have than our student council.

A special thank you to all the parents and children of St. Christopher. This is a fine example of our Catholic identity and such a good lesson for all the kids to learn...that we are the kind of school that gives back to our community in big and small ways.
P.S. We did send a portion to our food pantry again this year.
